Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does marginal likelihood represent in a generative model?

  • The chance of observing latent data
  • The probability of observed data
  • The expected value of latent variables

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember what it encapsulates in terms of observations.

Question 2

Is it true that we can easily compute marginal likelihood in all cases?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the complexity of high-dimensional data.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Explain how you would approach a situation where you are unable to compute marginal likelihood directly due to high-dimensional data. What strategies would you consider?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the significance of simplifying interactions in large datasets.

Question 2

Consider a case study in which two different models give different marginal likelihoods for the same dataset. Discuss how you would determine which model is superior and justify your reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on what higher marginal likelihood implies about a model's performance.
