SHORT ANSWERS
This section contains clear and exam-ready explanations of all short questions.
Machine Learning
Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence where systems learn from data instead of
explicit programming. It is significant because it enables automation, improves accuracy over time,
and is widely used in industries like healthcare, finance, and e-commerce.
Regression
Regression is a supervised learning method used to predict continuous values. It helps in
forecasting and understanding relationships between variables.
Types of Machine Learning
1. Supervised Learning: Uses labeled data. 2. Unsupervised Learning: Finds patterns in unlabeled
data. 3. Reinforcement Learning: Learns through rewards and penalties. Each type has different
use cases such as classification, clustering, and decision making.
Convolutional Neural Network Layers
CNNs consist of convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. Convolution
extracts features, pooling reduces dimensionality, and fully connected layers perform classification.
Q-Learning
Q-Learning is a reinforcement learning algorithm that learns the value of actions in a state. Key
terms include state, action, reward, and Q-value. It is used in robotics and game AI.
Logistic Regression
Logistic Regression is used for classification problems. Types include binary, multinomial, and
ordinal logistic regression.
Multilayer Perceptron
An MLP is a feedforward neural network with multiple layers. It uses activation functions and
backpropagation for learning.
Neural Network Types
Feedforward NN: Data flows one direction. Recurrent NN: Handles sequence data. CNN: Used for
image processing.
LSTM
LSTM is a type of RNN designed to remember long-term dependencies using gates like input,
forget, and output gates.
Attention Mechanism
Attention allows models to focus on important parts of input sequences, improving performance in
NLP tasks like translation.
