Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
