‭1.‬ ‭Advantages of using decision trees‬‭:?‬


‭○‬ ‭Easy to understand and interpret.‬
‭○‬ ‭Can handle both numerical and categorical data.‬
‭○‬ ‭Non-parametric and requires little data preparation.‬
‭○‬ ‭Can model nonlinear relationships.‬
‭2.‬ ‭Two approaches to improve quality of hierarchical clustering‬‭:?‬
‭○‬ ‭Agglomerative (Bottom-up)‬‭: Start with each point as‬‭its own cluster and‬
‭m erge them iteratively.‬
‭○‬ ‭Divisive (Top-down)‬‭: Start with one large cluster‬‭and split it iteratively into‬
‭s maller clusters.‬
‭3.‬ ‭Applications of cluster analysis‬‭:?‬
‭○‬ ‭Market segmentation.‬
‭○‬ ‭Image segmentation.‬
‭○‬ ‭Social network analysis.‬
‭○‬ ‭Biological data analysis (e.g., gene expression).‬
‭○‬ ‭Document classification.‬
‭4.‬ ‭Define data stream mining‬‭:?‬
‭○‬ ‭The process of extracting knowledge structures from continuous, rapid data‬
‭records.‬
‭5.‬ ‭Taxonomy of web mining‬‭:?‬
‭○‬ ‭Web Content Mining‬‭: Extracting useful information‬‭from web content.‬
‭○‬ ‭Web Structure Mining‬‭: Analyzing the structure of hyperlinks‬‭within the web.‬
‭○‬ ‭Web Usage Mining‬‭: Understanding user behavior through‬‭web logs and‬
‭interactions.‬
‭6.‬ ‭Effectiveness of Bayesian classifiers‬‭:?‬
‭○‬ ‭Bayesian classifiers are effective for small and medium-sized datasets,‬
‭handling probabilistic relationships and real-time predictions well. They‬
‭assume feature independence, which can sometimes limit accuracy.‬
‭7.‬ ‭What is an outlier?‬‭:‬
‭○‬ ‭An observation or data point that significantly deviates from the other‬
‭observations in the dataset.‬
‭8.‬ ‭Weaknesses of hierarchical clustering‬‭:‬
‭○‬ ‭High computational complexity.‬
‭○‬ ‭Difficulty handling large datasets.‬
‭○‬ ‭No inherent ability to reassign points once merged or split.‬
‭9.‬ ‭Define unstructured text‬‭:‬
‭○‬ ‭Text data that does not have a predefined data model or is not organized in a‬
‭s tructured format (e.g., free-form text).‬

‭ 1.‬‭Characteristics of k-nearest neighbor algorithm‬‭:‬


1
‭●‬ ‭Instance-based and lazy learning algorithm.‬
‭●‬ ‭Simple and easy to implement.‬
‭●‬ ‭Sensitive to the choice of k and distance metric.‬
‭●‬ ‭Computationally expensive for large datasets.‬

‭ 2.‬‭Brief Discussion about Clustering Problem Definition‬‭:‬


1
‭●‬ ‭Clustering involves grouping a set of objects such that objects in the same group (or‬
‭c luster) are more similar to each other than to those in other groups. It is an‬
‭unsupervised learning task used to identify natural groupings in data.‬

‭ 3.‬‭Need of outlier detection & two applications‬‭:‬


1
‭●‬ ‭Need‬‭: To identify and handle anomalies that could indicate errors, fraud, or significant‬
‭events.‬
‭●‬ ‭Applications‬‭: Fraud detection in financial transactions and network security for‬
‭intrusion detection.‬

‭ 4.‬‭Define web mining‬‭:‬


1
‭●‬ ‭The process of using data mining techniques to automatically discover and extract‬
‭information from web documents and services.‬

‭ 5.‬‭Define text clustering‬‭:‬


1
‭●‬ ‭The process of grouping a set of text documents into clusters based on their content‬
‭s imilarity, enabling efficient organization and retrieval of information.‬
