Question 1.
What is AdaBoost?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what combining weak predictions can produce.
Question 2.
What does 'weak learner' mean?
Show hintHide hint
Consider a basic model's performance relative to guessing.
3Question 3.
What does AdaBoost stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the primary function of the method.
4Question 4.
True or False: AdaBoost can only use decision trees as base learners.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider whether you know other types of models AdaBoost might employ.
Question 5.
You are given a dataset with numerous mislabeled entries. How would implementing AdaBoost help in classifying the data effectively? Discuss the methodology.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how the weighting of instances helps correct previous mistakes.
Question 6.
Critically evaluate the performance of AdaBoost on a dataset where the primary issue is class imbalance. What strategies could be employed to mitigate any issues faced?
Show hintHide hint
Consider approaches that ensure all classes are represented in the learning process.
