Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the primary purpose of using L1 and L2 penalties in machine learning?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when a model learns too well from its training data.

Question 2

Easy

Which penalty is associated with increasing sparsity in a model?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the term that relates to zeroing out coefficients.

Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What does L1 regularization do?

  • Shrinks coefficients to zero
  • Keeps all coefficients
  • Increases complexity

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the primary effect L1 has on the features.

Question 2

True or False: L2 regularization completely removes features from the model.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider whether any coefficients are forced to zero.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have a dataset with 100 features, and after applying L1 regularization, you find that only 20 features remain with non-zero coefficients. Discuss the potential impacts on your model performance and interpretability.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider both interpretability and the risk of losing important data.

Question 2

You are evaluating the performance of models using L1 and L2 penalties. Compare their effectiveness in terms of bias and variance trade-off, especially in the context of high-dimensional datasets.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how each penalty interacts with the model complexity.
