Q1: What is AUC (Area under the ROC Curve)?

  • A: A number between 0.0 and 1.0 representing a binary classification model's ability to separate positive classes from negative classes.
  • B: A metric used to evaluate the performance of a classification model by calculating the area under the ROC curve.
  • C: A measure of the model's ability to correctly classify both positive and negative instances across different probability thresholds.
  • D: All of the above

Q2: Bias in ethics/fairness can be defined as:

  • A: Stereotyping, prejudice or favoritism towards some things, people, or groups over others.
  • B: Systematic error introduced by a sampling or reporting procedure.
  • C: Both A and B
  • D: Neither A nor B

Q3: What is binary classification?

  • A: A type of classification task that outputs a continuous value.
  • B: A type of classification task that predicts one of two mutually exclusive classes.
  • C: A type of classification task that predicts one of multiple classes.
  • D: A type of regression task that predicts a continuous value within a specific range

Q4: What does convergence refer to in machine learning?

  • A: A state reached when the model's performance on the training data plateaus.
  • B: A state reached when the model's performance on the validation data plateaus.
  • C: A state reached when the model's performance on the test data plateaus.
  • D: A state reached when loss values change very little or not at all with each iteration

Q5: What is an epoch in machine learning?

  • A: A full training pass over the entire dataset such that each example has been processed once.
  • B: A single update of a model's weights during training.
  • C: A small, randomly selected subset of the training data used in one iteration.
  • D: The number of times the model's weights are updated during training on the entire dataset

Q6: What is a feature in machine learning?

  • A: An input variable used in unsupervised learning.
  • B: An output variable predicted by the model.
  • C: An input variable used in supervised learning.
  • D: A variable that is not used in the model

Q7: What is a regression model?

  • A: A model that predicts a categorical output.
  • B: A model that predicts a numerical output.
  • C: A model that predicts a probability.
  • D: A model that groups similar data points together

Q8: What is gradient descent?

  • A: A technique to minimize loss by iteratively adjusting model parameters.
  • B: A technique to maximize model performance by exploring different hyperparameter values.
  • C: A technique to evaluate the performance of a model on unseen data.
  • D: A technique to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the loss function

Q9: What is inference in machine learning?

  • A: The process of making predictions by applying a trained model to labeled examples.
  • B: The process of training a model on a dataset.
  • C: The process of evaluating a model's performance.
  • D: The process of making predictions by applying a trained model to unlabeled examples

Q10: What is loss in machine learning?

  • A: A measure of how well the model fits the training data.
  • B: A measure of how well the model generalizes to unseen data.
  • C: A measure of how far a model's prediction is from its label.
  • D: A measure of the model's complexity
