1. 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.

   A. Given historical data of children‘s ages and heights, predict children’s height as a function of their age.

   B. Examine a large collection of emails that are known to be spam email, to discover if there are sub-types of spam mail.

   C. 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).

   D. 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.

   答案【A,C】

   【解析】This is a supervised learning, regression problem, where we can learn from a training set to predict height.
   【解析】This can addressed using a clustering (unsupervised learning) algorithm, to cluster spam mail into sub-types.
   【解析】This can be addressed using supervised learning, in which we learn from historical records to make win/loss predictions.
   【解析】This can be addressed using an unsupervised learning, clustering, algorithm, in which we group patients into different clusters.
