Question 1

What is a key benefit of using a Dirichlet Process Mixture Model?

  • Allows for a fixed number of clusters
  • Adapts to the data complexity
  • Requires predefined cluster counts

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the nature of the data and how it influences cluster formation.

Question 2

True or False: The base distribution in a Dirichlet Process is optional.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on what guides the DP.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine you are designing a clustering model using a DPMM for categorizing types of artwork in a museum. Discuss how you would set the concentration parameter and what outcomes you expect.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the impact of your initial parameter settings on your clustering outcomes.

Question 2

Create a hypothetical dataset and describe how applying a DPMM will give you insights versus a traditional parametric clustering model.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how DPMMs more elegantly capture the complexity of real-world data.
