Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What does the concentration parameter (Ξ±) in a Dirichlet Process influence?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how different values of Ξ± would affect cluster formation.

Question 2

Easy

Name one inference method used in DPMMs.

πŸ’‘ Hint: This method often uses probabilistic sampling for estimates.

Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What is the primary advantage of using Dirichlet Process Mixture Models?

  • They require a fixed number of clusters
  • They can adapt the number of clusters based on data
  • They are simpler than parametric models

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the flexibility aspect of DPMMs.

Question 2

True or False: The concentration parameter (Ξ±) in DPMMs can be set to a high value to encourage fewer clusters.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how Ξ± influences the clustering behavior.
