Start AI Concepts and Techniques PracticeA machine learning engineer is training a logistic regression model and notices that the loss is decreasing very slowly. The learning rate is set to 0.001. What is the MOST likely cause and appropriate fix?
Explanation: A learning rate of 0.001 is very low for many logistic regression implementations, causing the gradient descent algorithm to take extremely small steps toward the minimum of the loss function. This results in a slow decrease in loss because each weight update is minimal. Increasing the learning rate to 0.01 allows larger steps per iteration, accelerating convergence without typically causing divergence in well-scaled data.
A data scientist is evaluating a binary classifier for a medical diagnosis task. The dataset is imbalanced with 5% positive cases. Which THREE metrics should the data scientist consider for a comprehensive evaluation?
Explanation: Precision (A) is correct because it measures the proportion of true positive predictions among all positive predictions, which is critical in imbalanced medical diagnosis where false positives can lead to unnecessary stress or procedures. In a dataset with only 5% positive cases, a model that predicts all negatives would achieve high accuracy but zero precision, so precision helps assess the cost of false alarms.
A product team wants a system that can generate high-quality synthetic images of furniture in different room settings for an online catalog. The images must be photorealistic and vary in style. Which generative AI approach is BEST suited for this task?
Explanation: Diffusion models are the best choice because they iteratively denoise random noise to produce high-quality, photorealistic images with diverse styles. Unlike GANs, they avoid mode collapse and training instability, and they generate more detailed and varied outputs than VAEs, making them ideal for furniture catalog images in different room settings.
A research team is fine-tuning a BERT model for a text classification task. They notice that the model's performance on the validation set fluctuates wildly across epochs, sometimes dropping significantly from one epoch to the next. Which technique is MOST likely to stabilise training?
Explanation: Gradient clipping directly addresses the problem of exploding gradients, which can cause large, destabilizing weight updates during fine-tuning of large models like BERT. By capping the gradient norm (e.g., to a value like 1.0), it prevents a single batch from drastically altering the model's parameters, thus smoothing out validation performance fluctuations across epochs.
A data scientist is preparing to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) for image classification. Which TWO actions are most effective for preventing overfitting? (Choose 2)
Explanation: Data augmentation (A) is effective for preventing overfitting because it artificially expands the training dataset by applying random transformations (e.g., rotation, flipping, cropping, color jitter) to existing images. This exposes the CNN to a wider variety of input patterns, reducing the model's tendency to memorize noise or specific details and improving generalization to unseen data.
