Selected Topics – Assignment (15 Marks)
Make group of 5 members and do the assignment
Submission Format: Students shall submit their answers in PDF
format.
Deadline: April 12,2026
Instructions: Answer all questions.
1. Explain how a supervised learning model can handle noisy data
in a training dataset. Provide a practical example relevant to
image or text data.
2. You are designing an AI system to predict crop yields. How
would you choose the features for a supervised learning model,
and why would feature selection matter?
3. Differentiate between underfitting and overfitting in supervised
learning. Suggest one technique to reduce each problem in a real-
world AI application.
4. Describe a scenario where agentic AI could autonomously make
decisions to optimize energy consumption in a smart building.
What type of feedback or learning mechanism would be
necessary for the AI to improve over time?
5. Explain the difference between supervised learning and
reinforcement learning. Why is agentic AI more aligned with
reinforcement learning principles?
6. Imagine you have a dataset with labeled customer reviews. How
would a supervised learning model help in sentiment analysis,
and what challenges could arise if the dataset contains ambiguous
labels?
7. Define agentic AI in your own words. Provide one example where
it could assist humans in daily decision-making without constant
supervision.
8. Consider an AI model that predicts student performance. Discuss
how bias in the training data could affect outcomes, and propose
a method to mitigate it.
9. In supervised learning, loss functions guide model training.
Explain why choosing an appropriate loss function is critical and
give an example where a common loss function might fail.
10. Imagine a hybrid system where agentic AI is integrated with
a supervised learning model for medical diagnosis. Discuss one
potential benefit and one potential risk of this combination.
