Machine Learning - Statistics and Math Common Questions
1. What is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning? - Supervised Learning: In supervised learning, the algorithm learns from labeled training data, where the input and corresponding output are provided. The goal is to learn a mapping function to make predictions on new, unseen data. - Unsupervised Learning: Unsupervised learning involves learning patterns and relationships from unlabeled data. It includes clustering (grouping similar data points) and dimensionality reduction (reducing the number of features while preserving important information). 2. Explain bias and variance trade-off in machine learning. - Bias: Bias refers to the error due to overly simplistic assumptions in the learning algorithm, leading to underfitting. High bias can cause the model to miss relevant relations between features and target. - Variance: Variance is the error due to too much complexity in the model, le...
