Question 1

What is a generative model?

  • A model that predicts unobservable variables.
  • A model that defines data generation through latent variables.
  • A model that strictly uses observed variables.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the role of hidden factors in observable data.

Question 2

True or False: Marginal likelihood requires integration or summation over latent variables.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the definitions given earlier in our discussion.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a dataset where you suspect hidden factors influence customer purchases in a store. How would you approach building a generative model to discover these factors?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what data you have and how latent variabilities may explain observable actions.

Question 2

Derive the marginal likelihood for a continuous variable in terms of latent variables. Explain the significance of each component in your equation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, understanding how different latent distributions interact with your observed data is essential.
