Consider the effect of each operation below on a model's bias and variance. Which of the following statements are correct?
  1. Regularising the weights in a linear/logistic regression model increases bias and decreases variance.
  2. Increasing the maximum depth of a decision tree increases bias and decreases variance.
  3. Increasing the number of hidden units in a neural network decreases bias and increases variance.
  4. Removing all the non-support-vectors from the training set of an SVM leaves both bias and variance unchanged.

You build a fully-connected feed-forward neural network for a classification task. The input is a - dimensional vector; the network has two hidden layers of neurons each, followed by an output layer of neurons. Every layer is densely (fully) connected to the next. Ignoring all bias terms, compute the total number of weight parameters in the network. (Enter if it cannot be determined.)

Practice 9SA3 marks
Consider a simple neural network with one hidden layer. The network has the following architecture: Input layer with 3 neurons. Hidden layer with 2 neurons, using the sigmoid activation function. Output layer with 1 neuron, using the linear activation function. The weights and biases for the network are as follows: Hidden Layer: Neuron 1: Weights: [0.5, -0.2, 0.8] Bias: 0.1 Neuron 2: Weights: [0.4, 0, 0.2] Bias: -0.4 Output Layer: Neuron 1: Weights: [0.2, 0.4] Bias: -0.3 Assume that the input values are [0.6, 0.3, 0.8].

Practice 16MCQ3 marks
Consider a neural network for a multi-class, image classification problem. When the network is trained on the images as they are, it does a good job on the test data. Call the dataset (train + test) for this setup D1 and the network N1. Assume that we now turn all images upside down, in both the training and test dataset. Now, the network with the same architecture is trained from scratch on this modified dataset. Call the dataset (train + test) for this setup D2 and network N2. Select the most appropriate option.
  1. The network N2 will not be able to learn anything from D2. Its test accuracy onD2 will be very low.
  2. The network N2 will be able to learn useful patterns from D2. In fact, theperformance of network N2 on D2 will be similar to N1 on D1.
  3. The network N2 will be able to learn somewhat useful patterns from D2. Butthe performance of N1 on D1 will be much better than N2 on D2.
