Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the purpose of scaling features before applying regularization?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how features with larger numerical ranges can dominate the model's training.

Question 2

Easy

Name one regularization technique used to reduce overfitting.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the techniques we discussed in the chapter.

Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What does regularization aim to achieve in machine learning?

  • Increase overfitting
  • Improve model accuracy on unseen data
  • Ignore noise in data

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the purpose of regularization techniques.

Question 2

Is it true that Lasso regression can perform feature selection?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how Lasso's penalty works.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have two models: one with high variance resulting from overfitting, and another with high bias from underfitting. Describe how you would use regularization techniques to improve them.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about both reducing complexity and increasing feature relevance.

Question 2

You implement Lasso regression and some coefficients become zero. Explain how this impacts model interpretation and future steps.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider why feature selection might help in real-world applications.
