Which of the following is an example of an unsupervised learning algorithm?

  1. Linear Regression

  2. K-Means Clustering

  3. Decision Tree

  4. Support Vector Machine


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

K-Means Clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm that groups data points into clusters based on their similarity.

What is the goal of unsupervised learning?

  1. To predict the output of a given input

  2. To find patterns and structures in data

  3. To classify data points into different categories

  4. To generate new data points


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The goal of unsupervised learning is to find patterns and structures in data without being given labeled data.

Which of the following is a common unsupervised learning task?

  1. Classification

  2. Regression

  3. Clustering

  4. Dimensionality Reduction


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Clustering is a common unsupervised learning task that involves grouping data points into clusters based on their similarity.

What is the difference between hard clustering and soft clustering?

  1. Hard clustering assigns each data point to a single cluster, while soft clustering allows a data point to belong to multiple clusters.

  2. Hard clustering is used for categorical data, while soft clustering is used for continuous data.

  3. Hard clustering is more efficient than soft clustering.

  4. Hard clustering is more accurate than soft clustering.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hard clustering assigns each data point to a single cluster, while soft clustering allows a data point to belong to multiple clusters with different degrees of membership.

Which of the following is a common distance metric used in clustering algorithms?

  1. Euclidean distance

  2. Manhattan distance

  3. Cosine similarity

  4. Jaccard similarity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Euclidean distance is a common distance metric used in clustering algorithms that measures the distance between two data points in multidimensional space.

What is the purpose of dimensionality reduction in unsupervised learning?

  1. To reduce the number of features in a dataset

  2. To improve the performance of clustering algorithms

  3. To visualize high-dimensional data

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dimensionality reduction is used in unsupervised learning to reduce the number of features in a dataset, improve the performance of clustering algorithms, and visualize high-dimensional data.

Which of the following is a common dimensionality reduction technique?

  1. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

  2. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)

  3. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)

  4. t-SNE


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a common dimensionality reduction technique that finds the directions of maximum variance in the data and projects the data onto these directions.

What is the goal of anomaly detection in unsupervised learning?

  1. To identify data points that are significantly different from the rest of the data

  2. To find patterns and structures in data

  3. To classify data points into different categories

  4. To generate new data points


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The goal of anomaly detection in unsupervised learning is to identify data points that are significantly different from the rest of the data.

Which of the following is a common anomaly detection algorithm?

  1. K-Means Clustering

  2. Isolation Forest

  3. Local Outlier Factor (LOF)

  4. One-Class Support Vector Machine (OC-SVM)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Isolation Forest is a common anomaly detection algorithm that isolates data points by randomly selecting features and splitting the data into two subsets.

What is the difference between supervised learning and unsupervised learning?

  1. Supervised learning uses labeled data, while unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data.

  2. Supervised learning is used for classification and regression tasks, while unsupervised learning is used for clustering and dimensionality reduction tasks.

  3. Supervised learning is more accurate than unsupervised learning.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Supervised learning uses labeled data, while unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data. Supervised learning is used for classification and regression tasks, while unsupervised learning is used for clustering and dimensionality reduction tasks. Supervised learning is typically more accurate than unsupervised learning.

Which of the following is an example of a generative unsupervised learning algorithm?

  1. K-Means Clustering

  2. Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)

  3. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

  4. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is an example of a generative unsupervised learning algorithm that assumes that the data is generated from a mixture of Gaussian distributions.

What is the goal of semi-supervised learning?

  1. To learn from a combination of labeled and unlabeled data

  2. To find patterns and structures in data

  3. To classify data points into different categories

  4. To generate new data points


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The goal of semi-supervised learning is to learn from a combination of labeled and unlabeled data.

Which of the following is a common semi-supervised learning algorithm?

  1. Self-Training

  2. Co-Training

  3. Label Propagation

  4. Graph-Based Semi-Supervised Learning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Self-Training is a common semi-supervised learning algorithm that iteratively trains a model on labeled data and then uses the model to label unlabeled data.

What are the challenges of unsupervised learning?

  1. The lack of labeled data

  2. The difficulty in finding meaningful patterns and structures in data

  3. The high computational cost of unsupervised learning algorithms

  4. All of the above
