Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you implement AdaBoost on a dataset and notice it begins to overfit. Describe how you would adjust your approach to mitigate overfitting.

💡 Hint: Overfitting indicates excessive fit to the training data; think about methods to simplify the model or improve generalization.

Question 2

How would you explain the difference between decision trees used in Bagging vs. Boosting?

💡 Hint: Focus on how the learning process differs between the two methods regarding independence vs. sequential learning.
