第四题是一个多选题 做错了 并且选项是会发生变化的
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.
1) Take a collection of 1000 essays written on the US Economy, and find a way to automatically group these essays into a small number of groups of essays that are somehow “similar” or “related”.
This is an unsupervised learning/clustering problem (similar to the Google News example in the lectures).
2) 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 treatements.
This can be addressed using an unsupervised learning, clustering, algorithm, in which we group patients into different clusters.
3) Given genetic (DNA) data from a person, predict the odds of him/her developing diabetes over the next 10 years.
This can be addressed as a supervised learning, classification, problem, where we can learn from a labeled dataset comprising different people’s genetic data, and labels telling us if they had developed diabetes.
4) Given 50 articles written by male authors, and 50 articles written by female authors, learn to predict the gender of a new manuscript’s author (when the identity of this author is unknown).
This can be addressed as a supervised learning, classification, problem, where we learn from the labeled data to predict gender.
5) In farming, given data on crop yields over the last 50 years, learn to predict next year’s crop yields.
This can be addresses as a supervised learning problem, where we learn from historical data (labeled with historical crop yields) to predict future crop yields.
6) Examine a large collection of emails that are known to be spam email, to discover if there are sub-types of spam mail.
This can addressed using a clustering (unsupervised learning) algorithm, to cluster spam mail into sub-types.
7) 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.”
This can be addressed as a supervised learning, classification, problem, where we can learn from a dataset of web pages that have been labeled as “child friendly” or “adult.”
8) Examine the statistics of two football teams, and predicting which team will win tomorrow’s match (given historical data of teams’ wins/losses to learn from)
This can be addressed using supervised learning, in which we learn from historical records to make win/loss predictions.
