2026/2027
◉ Is written text structured or unstructured? Answer: Unstructured
◉ When we increase the sum of the square of the coefficients we...
Answer: Decrease the distance between the lines
◉ In SVM soft classifier we tradeoff between maximizing ___ and
minimizing ___ Answer: margin and errors
◉ If lambda gets small what gets emphasized, large margin or
minimizing training error?, Answer: Minimizing errors.
◉ What is a support vector? Answer: A point that holds up a shape.
◉ Does ...[⅔(a-1)+1/3(a+1)] move an SVM classifier up or down?
Answer: Up
◉ How do you make errors more costly in a soft SVM classifier?
Answer: include a multiplier for the point-error term.
If an SVM coefficient is very close to zero... Answer: that term is not
very important to the classification.
, ◉
◉ What is the difference between standardization and scaling? Answer:
Scaling is bounded in range. Standardization is scaling to a normal
distribution. Standardization is the (value - factor mean) / (factor
standard deviation)
◉ What is the 2-norm? Answer: Euclidean distance
◉ What is the 1-norm? Answer: The rectilinear (Manhattan) distance
◉ What is the infinity norm? Answer: The value of the largest
dimension
◉ Measuring the quality of a model is called? Answer: Validation
◉ What does a confusion matrix show? Answer: The performance of a
classification model.
◉ A time series outlier that seems "off the curve" is called a... Answer:
contextual outlier.
◉ A data element that is different from all other data in a set is called a...
Answer: point outlier.
◉ When something is missing in a range of points Answer: it is called
a..., collective outlier.
