ML Coursera Assignments

The document contains 5 questions about machine learning concepts. The high level information is: 1) The task in question for a weather prediction learning algorithm is the weather prediction task. 2) Predicting weather with options of sunny, cloudy, or rainy would be treated as a classification problem. 3) Predicting the number of shares of a stock traded would be treated as a regression problem. 4) Supervised learning could be applied to predicting crop yields, classifying web page content, and predicting medical treatment responses. 5) Machine learning is defined as the field that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

1.Question 1
A computer program is said to learn from experience E with
respect to some task T and some performance measure P if its
performance on T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.
Suppose we feed a learning algorithm a lot of historical weather
data, and have it learn to predict weather. In this setting, what is T?

The process of the algorithm examining a large amount of historical weather data.
The probability of it correctly predicting a future date's weather.
-->>The weather prediction task.
None of these.

2.Question 2

Suppose you are working on weather prediction, and your weather


station makes one of three predictions for each day's weather:
Sunny, Cloudy or Rainy. You'd like to use a learning algorithm
to predict tomorrow's weather.

Would you treat this as a classification or a regression problem?

Regression

--->>Classification

3.Question 3
Suppose you are working on stock market prediction, Typically
tens of millions of shares of Microsoft stock are traded
(i.e., bought/sold) each day. You would like to predict the
number of Microsoft shares that will be traded tomorrow.
Would you treat this as a classification or a regression problem?

-->>Regression
Classification

4.Question 4
Some of the problems below are best addressed using a supervised
learning algorithm, and the others with an unsupervised
learning algorithm. Which of the following would you apply
supervised learning to? (Select all that apply.) In each case, assume some
appropriate
dataset is available for your algorithm to learn from.

-->>In farming, given data on crop yields over the last 50 years, learn to predict
next year's crop yields.
Given a large dataset of medical records from patients suffering from heart
disease, try to learn whether there might be different clusters of such patients
for which we might tailor separate treatments.
-->>Examine a web page, and classify whether the content on the web page should be
considered "child friendly" (e.g., non-pornographic, etc.) or "adult."
Given data on how 1000 medical patients respond to an experimental drug (such as
effectiveness of the treatment, side effects, etc.), discover whether there are
different categories or "types" of patients in terms of how they respond to the
drug, and if so what these categories are.

5.Question 5

Which of these is a reasonable definition of machine learning?

Machine learning is the field of allowing robots to act intelligently.


Machine learning learns from labeled data.
-->>Machine learning is the field of study that gives computers the ability to
learn without being explicitly programmed.
Machine learning is the science of programming computers.
