Question 1.
Define bias in the context of machine learning.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how accurately a model represents the real data.
Question 2.
What does high variance indicate?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens when a model learns specific details of the training data.
3Question 3.
What does high bias result in?
- Overfitting
- Underfitting
- Good Generalization
Show hintHide hint
Think about how bias affects model complexity.
4Question 4.
True or False: Overfitting is a state where the model performs well on training data but poorly on new data.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on how overfitting changes a model's predictive ability.
Question 5.
Discuss the implications of choosing a model with high bias versus a model with high variance in a real-world scenario.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on situations where accuracy is critical.
Question 6.
Devise a strategy for gathering more data to improve model performance while considering the trade-off.
Show hintHide hint
Think about different sources of information that can enhance knowledge.
