Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

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

💡 Hint: Think about how different values of α would affect cluster formation.

Question 2 Easy

Name one inference method used in DPMMs.

💡 Hint: This method often uses probabilistic sampling for estimates.

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

💡 Hint: Remember the flexibility aspect of DPMMs.

Question 2

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

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about how α influences the clustering behavior.
