Which of the following is NOT a common cause of overfitting in machine learning models?

  1. High bias

  2. High variance

  3. Too many features

  4. Insufficient training data


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

High bias is associated with underfitting, not overfitting.

What is the purpose of cross-validation in machine learning?

  1. To evaluate the performance of a model on unseen data

  2. To select the optimal hyperparameters for a model

  3. To prevent overfitting or underfitting

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cross-validation serves all of these purposes.

Which of the following is NOT a common debugging technique for machine learning models?

  1. Checking for data inconsistencies

  2. Visualizing the model's predictions

  3. Using a debugger to step through the model's code

  4. Printing intermediate results during training


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is not a common debugging technique for machine learning models.

What is the primary goal of model evaluation in machine learning?

  1. To select the best model for a given task

  2. To identify potential biases in the model

  3. To estimate the model's generalization error

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Model evaluation serves all of these purposes.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of machine learning model error?

  1. Type I error

  2. Type II error

  3. Overfitting

  4. Underfitting


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Overfitting is not a type of error, but rather a condition that can lead to errors.

What is the purpose of regularization in machine learning?

  1. To reduce overfitting

  2. To improve the model's generalization performance

  3. To select the optimal hyperparameters for a model

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Regularization serves all of these purposes.

Which of the following is NOT a common strategy for debugging overfitting in machine learning models?

  1. Increasing the amount of training data

  2. Reducing the number of features

  3. Applying regularization techniques

  4. Early stopping


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Increasing the amount of training data is a common strategy for addressing underfitting, not overfitting.

What is the primary purpose of data augmentation in machine learning?

  1. To increase the size of the training dataset

  2. To improve the model's generalization performance

  3. To reduce overfitting

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data augmentation serves all of these purposes.

Which of the following is NOT a common metric for evaluating the performance of a machine learning model?

  1. Accuracy

  2. Precision

  3. Recall

  4. F1 score


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

F1 score is a combination of precision and recall, not a separate metric.

What is the purpose of hyperparameter tuning in machine learning?

  1. To select the optimal values for a model's hyperparameters

  2. To improve the model's generalization performance

  3. To reduce overfitting or underfitting

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hyperparameter tuning serves all of these purposes.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of machine learning model bias?

  1. Selection bias

  2. Confirmation bias

  3. Sampling bias

  4. Overfitting


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Overfitting is not a type of bias, but rather a condition that can lead to bias.

What is the purpose of feature engineering in machine learning?

  1. To transform raw data into a format suitable for machine learning models

  2. To improve the model's generalization performance

  3. To reduce overfitting or underfitting

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Feature engineering serves all of these purposes.

Which of the following is NOT a common strategy for debugging underfitting in machine learning models?

  1. Increasing the number of features

  2. Applying regularization techniques

  3. Early stopping

  4. Increasing the amount of training data


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Applying regularization techniques is a common strategy for addressing overfitting, not underfitting.

What is the primary purpose of ensemble learning in machine learning?

  1. To improve the model's generalization performance

  2. To reduce overfitting or underfitting

  3. To increase the model's robustness to noise and outliers

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ensemble learning serves all of these purposes.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of ensemble learning method?

  1. Bagging

  2. Boosting

  3. Stacking

  4. Dropout


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dropout is a regularization technique, not an ensemble learning method.
