answer these questions in detail

Here are detailed answers to the questions from your Midterm Examination on Artificial
Intelligence & Machine Learning:

Q1 (a): AI is interdisciplinary in nature and its foundations are in various

fields. Justify the statement.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is considered interdisciplinary because it integrates concepts
and techniques from multiple domains to create intelligent systems. The foundational
fields that contribute to AI include:

1. Mathematics – Provides the theoretical basis for logic, probability, and optimization.
2. Computer Science – AI depends on algorithms, data structures, and programming
techniques.
3. Neuroscience – Inspires neural networks and brain-like computational models.
4. Linguistics – Aids in natural language processing (NLP) for human-computer
interaction.
5. Psychology & Cognitive Science – Helps in understanding learning, reasoning,
and problem-solving.
6. Statistics & Probability – Essential for machine learning, pattern recognition, and
decision-making.

1/31
 7. Engineering & Robotics – Involves designing intelligent agents and autonomous
systems.

These fields together enable AI to function in diverse applications like robotics,

healthcare, finance, and more.

Q1 (b): What are the problems associated with propositional logic?

Propositional logic, while useful, has several limitations:

1. Lack of Expressiveness – It cannot represent complex real-world knowledge

efficiently.
2. Scalability Issues – As the number of variables increases, the number of possible
combinations grows exponentially.
3. No Representation of Uncertainty – It only deals with true or false values and
lacks probabilistic reasoning.
4. Rigid Rules – Logical statements are strict; any slight variation in wording leads to
different logical expressions.
5. Difficult in Knowledge Representation – Real-world scenarios involve objects
and relations that propositional logic cannot easily handle.

Due to these limitations, more advanced logic systems, like first-order logic (FOL), are
used in AI.

Q1 (c): Explain the characteristics and limitations of uninformed search

algorithms.

Characteristics of Uninformed Search:

1. No Prior Knowledge – The search does not have domain-specific heuristics to

guide it.
2. Systematic Exploration – It searches in a brute-force manner.
3. Completeness – Some uninformed search methods (like Breadth-First Search)
guarantee finding a solution if one exists.
4. Optimality – Only certain uninformed searches (like Uniform Cost Search) provide
optimal solutions.

Limitations:

1. High Time Complexity – Since they explore blindly, they may take an exponential
amount of time.
2. Memory Intensive – Some methods (like BFS) require large memory to store all
nodes.
3. Not Efficient for Large Problems – They do not scale well for complex real-world
problems.

2/31
Common uninformed search algorithms include Breadth-First Search (BFS), Depth-
First Search (DFS), and Uniform Cost Search (UCS).

Q1 (d): Is heuristic search always better than blind search? Justify your
answer.

Yes, heuristic search is generally better than blind search because it uses additional
knowledge to guide the search towards an optimal solution efficiently.

Reasons Why Heuristic Search is Better:

1. Reduces Search Space – It focuses only on promising paths, unlike blind search.
2. Faster Execution – Heuristic algorithms like A* reach the goal state quicker than
BFS or DFS.
3. More Practical for Large Problems – Real-world AI applications, such as
pathfinding in maps, use heuristic search for efficiency.

However, heuristic search is not always better when:

The heuristic function is poorly designed or inaccurate.

An optimal solution is needed, but the heuristic is not admissible (it overestimates
the cost).

Examples: A Search, Greedy Best First Search.*

Q1 (e): Differentiate between forward and backward chaining.

Feature Forward Chaining Backward Chaining

Direction Starts from known facts and Starts from the goal and works

Usage Used in data-driven systems Used in goal-driven reasoning (e.g.,

(e.g., expert systems). theorem proving).

Efficiency Works well when there are many Works well when there are few
rules and fewer goals. possible conclusions but many facts.

Example Medical diagnosis systems AI assistants (determining if a user

(deriving diseases from query matches available knowledge).
symptoms).

Q2 (a): What do you mean by Artificial Intelligence? How do you define a

problem as a state-space search? Explain using the water jug problem.

3/31
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that develops systems
capable of mimicking human intelligence—learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.

State-Space Search Representation: A problem is represented as a state-space

search when:

1. There is an initial state.

2. There are possible actions that transform one state into another.
3. There is a goal state to be reached.

Example: Water Jug Problem

Given: Two jugs of capacity 4L and 3L, and a target of 2L in one jug.
States: Different water levels in the jugs (e.g., (0,0), (4,0), (0,3)).
Actions: Fill, empty, pour water between jugs.
Goal State: (2, X), where one jug has exactly 2 liters.

The solution is found by applying search techniques like BFS or DFS.

Q2 (b): Explain how heuristic function helps in the process of searching.

Discuss Best First Search algorithm with example.
A heuristic function provides an estimate of the cost from the current state to the goal,
helping to prioritize promising paths in searching.

Best First Search (BFS) Algorithm:

Uses a heuristic function h(n) to expand the most promising node.

Can be implemented using a priority queue (nodes with the lowest heuristic value
get expanded first).

Example: Consider a graph traversal where we need to find the shortest path from A to
G. If h(n) represents the estimated cost to goal, BFS picks the node with the smallest
h(n).

Advantages:

More efficient than uninformed search.

Works well when a good heuristic is available.

Disadvantage:

Not always optimal unless combined with cost-based heuristics (A*).

Q3 (a): Explain constraint satisfaction problem with the help of an

example.

A Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a problem where:

4/31
 1. Variables must be assigned values.
2. Constraints restrict the allowed values.

Example: Sudoku

Variables: The 81 cells.

Domain: Numbers {1-9}.
Constraints:
Each row, column, and 3×3 grid must contain unique numbers.

Solving CSPs requires backtracking, constraint propagation, or local search

methods.

Q3 (b): How is unification used in resolution? Explain with an example.

Unification is a process in logic used to match two logical expressions by finding a
substitution.

Example:

1. Given predicates:
P(x, y): Loves(x, y)
Q(x): Loves(John, x)
2. To unify Loves(John, x) with Loves(y, Mary):
Substitution: x = Mary, y = John.

Unification helps in automated theorem proving and Prolog programming.

Q4 (a): Differentiate between breadth-first search and depth-first search

with an example.

Feature BFS DFS

Strategy Explores level by level (queue). Explores deep paths first (stack).

Memory Usage High (stores all nodes at a level). Low (stores only the path).

Completeness Always finds solution (if exists). May get stuck in infinite depth.

Optimality Yes (for uniform cost). No.

Example: Graph Traversal in AI (Solving Mazes).

Q4 (b): What do you mean by intelligent agents? Explain various types of

agents.
An intelligent agent perceives its environment and takes actions to achieve a goal.

5/31
Types:

1. Simple Reflex Agents – Respond directly to perceptions.

2. Model-Based Agents – Maintain internal states.
3. Goal-Based Agents – Take actions to achieve specific goals.
4. Utility-Based Agents – Optimize outcomes.
5. Learning Agents – Improve performance over time.

Example: Self-driving cars, chatbots.

explain kar do hinglish me : UNIT II Supervised Learning:
Generative/discriminative learning

Supervised Learning: Generative vs. Discriminative Learning (Hinglish

Explanation)

Supervised learning ek type ka machine learning hai jisme model ko input-output pairs
se train kiya jata hai. Matlab ki hum model ko pehle se labeled data dete hain, jisse wo
patterns seekh sake.

Ab supervised learning me do tareeke ke learning approaches hote hain:

1. Generative Learning
2. Discriminative Learning

1. Generative Learning

👉 Definition: Generative models poora data distribution ko samajhne ki koshish karte

hain. Ye p(x, y) → Joint Probability ko estimate karte hain, jisme x (input features) aur
y (output/class labels) dono ka probability distribution samjha jata hai.

🔹 Matlab kya hai?

Ye data ka full probability distribution model karta hai, aur naye examples bhi
generate kar sakta hai.
Ye pehle P(x | y) (features given class) aur P(y) (class probability) ko seekhta hai,
phir Bayes' theorem use karke P(y | x) (class given features) nikalta hai.

🔹 Example Models:
Naïve Bayes Classifier
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs)
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs)

6/31
🔹 Use Cases:
Spam Detection (Email spam or not spam)
Face Recognition
Speech Recognition

2. Discriminative Learning

👉 Definition: Discriminative models sirf decision boundary seekhne ki koshish karte

hain, jisme wo P(y | x) → Conditional Probability estimate karte hain. Matlab, ye sirf
classes ke beech difference seekhne pe dhyan dete hain, bina data distribution samjhe.

🔹 Matlab kya hai?

Ye directly class labels predict karte hain bina overall probability distribution ka
estimation kiye.
Ye data ka pattern recognize karke feature relationships pe focus karta hai.

🔹 Example Models:
Logistic Regression
Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
Neural Networks
Random Forest

🔹 Use Cases:
Object Detection (Image me object hai ya nahi)
Sentiment Analysis (Positive ya negative review)
Credit Card Fraud Detection

💡 Generative vs. Discriminative Learning - Key Differences

Feature Generative Learning Discriminative Learning

Focus P(x, y) (full data distribution) P(y

Approach Pehle data ka structure seekhta hai, Sirf class boundary seekhta
phir classify karta hai hai

Example Naïve Bayes, GMMs, HMMs SVM, Logistic Regression,

Models Neural Networks

Accuracy Low if data is complex High in most real-world cases

Use Case Data generation & classification Only classification

🎯 7/31
🎯 Conclusion:
Agar data ka probability distribution important hai, to Generative Learning use
karte hain.
Agar sirf classification ya prediction karna hai, to Discriminative Learning
better hota hai.

👉 Example se samjhein:
Generative Model ek artist ki tarah hai jo poori cheez recreate kar sakta hai.
Discriminative Model ek judge ki tarah hai jo sirf ye decide karega ki cheez sahi
hai ya nahi.

parametric/non-parametric learning

Parametric vs. Non-Parametric Learning (Hinglish Explanation)

Machine learning models ko do categories me divide kiya jata hai based on how they
learn from data:

1. Parametric Learning
2. Non-Parametric Learning

1️⃣ Parametric Learning

👉 Definition:
Parametric models ek fixed number of parameters ke sath kaam karte hain. Inka size
(complexity) data ke size ke sath change nahi hota. Ye models pehle se assume kar lete
hain ki data ek specific mathematical function ko follow karega.

🔹 Matlab kya hai?

Pehle assumption karte hain ki data kisi particular distribution ko follow karega
(jaise Linear, Gaussian, Poisson, etc.).
Model ko train karne ke baad, sirf parameters update hote hain, par model ki
complexity constant rehti hai.
Fast training hoti hai aur less data me bhi kaam karta hai.

🔹 Example Models:
✅ Linear Regression (y = mx + c)
✅ Logistic Regression
✅ Naïve Bayes
✅ Neural Networks (up to a fixed size)
8/31
🔹 Use Cases:
✅ Stock Market Prediction (Assuming stock prices follow a linear trend)
✅ Medical Diagnosis (Classifying diseases based on fixed parameters)
✅ Spam Detection (Fixed probability rules for word occurrence)
🔹 Pros (Fayde)
✔️ Fast & Efficient → Computation fast hoti hai.
✔️ Less Data Required → Kam data me bhi sahi se train ho sakta hai.
✔️ Easy to Interpret → Simple equations hote hain, jisme har parameter ka meaning
samajhna easy hota hai.

🔹 Cons (Nuksan)
❌ Limited Flexibility → Agar data complex hai to model over-simplify kar sakta hai.
❌ Wrong Assumptions → Agar data assumed function ko follow nahi kare to accuracy
low ho sakti hai.

2️⃣ Non-Parametric Learning

👉 Definition:
Non-parametric models fixed number of parameters ko assume nahi karte. Ye data se
hi patterns seekhte hain aur model ki complexity data ke size ke sath badhti hai.

🔹 Matlab kya hai?

Koi fixed equation ya function assumption nahi hoti.
Jitna zyada data milega, model utna improve hoga.
Ye models data-driven hote hain aur complex patterns bhi capture kar sakte hain.

🔹 Example Models:
✅ K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)
✅ Decision Trees & Random Forests
✅ Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
✅ Neural Networks (Adaptive architecture)
🔹 Use Cases:
✅ Face Recognition (Deep Learning models without fixed assumptions)
✅ Weather Prediction (Complex, non-linear patterns)
✅ Recommendation Systems (Netflix, Amazon recommendations)
🔹 Pros (Fayde)
✔️ More Flexible → Complex aur non-linear data ko bhi handle kar sakta hai.
✔️ Better Accuracy → Agar data sahi se preprocess kiya ho to accuracy high hoti hai.
✔️ No Strong Assumptions → Data ke natural patterns ko seekhne me madad karta
hai.

9/31
🔹 Cons (Nuksan)
❌ Slow Training → Large datasets hone pe training aur prediction slow ho sakta hai.
❌ More Data Required → Kam data me ye overfit ya underfit kar sakta hai.
❌ High Memory Usage → Bahut saara data store karna padta hai, especially KNN me.
💡 Parametric vs. Non-Parametric - Key Differences
Non-Parametric
Feature Parametric Learning Learning

Flexibility Low (Fixed structure) High (Dynamic structure)

Data Assumption Assumes a function (linear, No assumption, learns

Gaussian, etc.) from data

Training Time Fast Slow

Memory Usage Low High

Accuracy on Low High

Complex Data

Example Models Linear Regression, Naïve Bayes Decision Trees, KNN,

SVM

🎯 Conclusion:
Agar problem simple hai aur less data available hai, to Parametric Learning
best hai.
Agar problem complex hai aur zyada data available hai, to Non-Parametric
Learning best hai.

👉 Example se samjhein:
Parametric Learning ek formula-based shortcut ki tarah hai jo simple problems
ke liye fast kaam karega.
Non-Parametric Learning ek trial-and-error method ki tarah hai jo experience se
better hoga lekin time lagega.

can you explain the same things in English too

Parametric vs. Non-Parametric Learning (English Explanation)

Machine learning models can be classified into two categories based on how they learn
from data:

10/31
 1. Parametric Learning
2. Non-Parametric Learning

1️⃣ Parametric Learning

👉 Definition:
Parametric models work with a fixed number of parameters. Their complexity does
not change with the amount of training data. These models assume that the data follows
a specific mathematical function.

🔹 How does it work?

First, the model assumes that the data follows a particular distribution (e.g.,
Linear, Gaussian, Poisson, etc.).
During training, only the parameters are updated, but the model structure
remains the same.
Training is fast and works well with limited data.

🔹 Example Models:
✅ Linear Regression (y = mx + c)
✅ Logistic Regression
✅ Naïve Bayes
✅ Neural Networks (with a fixed architecture)
🔹 Use Cases:
✅ Stock Market Prediction (Assuming stock prices follow a linear trend)
✅ Medical Diagnosis (Classifying diseases based on fixed parameters)
✅ Spam Detection (Using probability-based classification)
🔹 Advantages:
✔️ Fast & Efficient → Requires fewer computations.
✔️ Less Data Required → Works well even with small datasets.
✔️ Easy to Interpret → The meaning of each parameter is clear and understandable.
🔹 Disadvantages:
❌ Limited Flexibility → May oversimplify complex data.
❌ Incorrect Assumptions → If the data does not follow the assumed function, the
model will have low accuracy.

2️⃣ Non-Parametric Learning

👉 Definition:
Non-parametric models do not assume a fixed number of parameters. Instead, they
learn patterns directly from the data, and their complexity grows as more data is
added.

11/31
🔹 How does it work?
No fixed equation or function assumption.
The more data you provide, the better the model performs.
These models are data-driven and can capture complex patterns.

🔹 Example Models:
✅ K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)
✅ Decision Trees & Random Forests
✅ Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
✅ Neural Networks (Adaptive architectures)
🔹 Use Cases:
✅ Face Recognition (Deep learning models that adapt to new patterns)
✅ Weather Prediction (Detecting complex, non-linear patterns)
✅ Recommendation Systems (Personalized movie or product recommendations)
🔹 Advantages:
✔️ More Flexible → Can handle complex and non-linear data.
✔️ Better Accuracy → Can improve significantly with more data.
✔️ No Strong Assumptions → Works well even if the data is unpredictable.
🔹 Disadvantages:
❌ Slow Training → Training and predictions can be slow for large datasets.
❌ More Data Required → Needs a lot of data to perform well.
❌ High Memory Usage → Some models (like KNN) require storing the entire dataset.
💡 Parametric vs. Non-Parametric - Key Differences
Non-Parametric
Feature Parametric Learning Learning

Flexibility Low (Fixed structure) High (Dynamic structure)

Data Assumption Assumes a function (linear, No assumption, learns

Gaussian, etc.) from data

Training Time Fast Slow

Memory Usage Low High

Accuracy on Low High

🎯 12/31
🎯 Conclusion:
If the problem is simple and less data is available, then Parametric Learning is
the best choice.
If the problem is complex and a large dataset is available, then Non-
Parametric Learning is better.

👉 Example to understand better:

Parametric Learning is like a shortcut formula that works fast for simple
problems.
Non-Parametric Learning is like a trial-and-error approach that improves with
experience but takes more time.

Support Vector Machines (SVM) - Detailed Explanation in Hinglish

& English
Support Vector Machine (SVM) ek powerful supervised learning algorithm hai jo
classification aur regression dono ke liye use hota hai, lekin zyada tar classification
problems me iska use hota hai.

Agar aapko complex data ko accurately classify karna hai aur overfitting avoid karna
hai, to SVM ek best choice hai.

🔷 Hinglish Explanation - SVM Kya Hai?

1️⃣ Basic Concept of SVM
SVM ek boundary (hyperplane) draw karta hai jo alag-alag classes ke data
points ko best possible way me separate karta hai.
Ye boundary jitna zyada margin rakhega, model utna achha generalize karega.
Support Vectors woh data points hote hain jo boundary ke bilkul pass hote
hain aur decision boundary banane me madad karte hain.

2️⃣ Types of SVM

13/31
🔹 1. Linear SVM → Jab data linearly separable hota hai (Ek straight line se classes ko
🔹 2. Non-Linear SVM → Jab data complex aur non-linearly separable hota hai (Ek
separate kiya ja sakta hai).

straight line se separate nahi kiya ja sakta, to Kernel Trick use hoti hai).

3️⃣ How SVM Works?

1. Hyperplane banata hai jo classes ko separate karta hai.
2. Margin maximize karta hai (Matlab hyperplane ke dono taraf ka gap maximize
karta hai).
3. Support Vectors ko use karke best decision boundary find karta hai.

4️⃣ Kernel Trick - Non-Linear Data Ka Solution

Agar data linear nahi hai, to SVM Kernel Trick use karta hai, jisme data ko higher
dimensions me map karke linearly separable banaya jata hai.

👉 Common Kernel Functions:

✅ Linear Kernel → Jab data already linearly separable ho.
✅ Polynomial Kernel → Jab classes polynomial boundary se separate ho sakti hain.
✅ Radial Basis Function (RBF) Kernel → Jab data highly complex ho.
✅ Sigmoid Kernel → Neural networks ki tarah kaam karta hai.
🔷 English Explanation - What is SVM?
1️⃣ Basic Concept of SVM
SVM draws a boundary (hyperplane) that best separates different classes of
data points.
The wider the margin, the better the model generalizes.
Support Vectors are the data points closest to the boundary, which play a
crucial role in defining the decision boundary.

2️⃣ Types of SVM

🔹 1. Linear SVM → Used when data is linearly separable (i.e., can be separated using
🔹 2. Non-Linear SVM → Used when data is not linearly separable, so we use Kernel
a straight line).

Trick to transform the data into a higher-dimensional space.

3️⃣ How SVM Works?

1. It creates a hyperplane that separates classes.
2. It maximizes the margin (i.e., the gap between classes).
3. It uses support vectors to determine the best decision boundary.

4️⃣ 14/31
4️⃣ Kernel Trick - Solution for Non-Linear Data
If data is not linear, SVM uses the Kernel Trick to map data into higher dimensions,
making it linearly separable.

👉 Common Kernel Functions:

✅ Linear Kernel → When data is already linearly separable.
✅ Polynomial Kernel → When classes are best separated by a polynomial boundary.
✅ Radial Basis Function (RBF) Kernel → Used for highly complex data.
✅ Sigmoid Kernel → Works similarly to neural networks.

Basic Probability Theory (Hinglish & English Explanation)

Probability theory is the mathematical study of randomness and uncertainty. It helps
in making predictions, understanding uncertainties, and analyzing data in AI and Machine
Learning.

🔹 Hinglish Explanation - Probability Theory Kya Hai?

Probability theory ek branch of mathematics hai jo uncertainty aur randomness ko
analyze karta hai.

1️⃣ Probability Ka Basic Concept

Kisi bhi event ke hone ka chances (possibility) ko probability kehte hain.
Probability ka value hamesha 0 se 1 ke beech hota hai.
0 → Event kabhi nahi hoga.
1 → Event hamesha hoga.
0.5 → Event ka hone aur na hone ka equal chance hai.

🔹 Probability Formula:
P(A)=Total OutcomesFavorable Outcomes​

20/31
Jahan,

P(A) = Probability of event A happening

Favorable Outcomes = Wo outcomes jo event ke support me hain
Total Outcomes = Sabhi possible outcomes

🔹 Example:
Agar ek fair coin toss karein, toh

Heads aane ki probability: P(H)=21​

Tails aane ki probability: P(T)=21​

2️⃣ Probability Ke Important Types

✅ Classical Probability → Jab har outcome ka equal chance hota hai. (e.g., Dice roll)
✅ Empirical Probability → Jab probability ko experiments ya observations se
✅ Subjective Probability → Jab probability personal judgment ya experience pe
estimate kiya jata hai.

depend karti hai.

3️⃣ Probability Theorems

1. Addition Theorem (Union of Events)

Do events A aur B ke union ka probability:

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)
Example: Card deck se ek card draw karna, jo red ya king ho.
2. Multiplication Theorem (Intersection of Events)

Do independent events A aur B ka combined probability:

P(A∩B)=P(A)×P(B)
Example: Ek dice roll aur coin toss ka combined probability.
3. Bayes' Theorem

Jab kisi event ke hone ki probability prior information se update ki jati hai.
Formula:
P(A∣B)=P(B)P(B∣A)⋅P(A)​
Example: Disease diagnosis, spam filtering.

🔹 English Explanation - What is Probability Theory?

Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with uncertainty and
randomness.

1️⃣ Basic Concept of Probability

21/31
 Probability represents the chance of an event occurring.
The probability value always lies between 0 and 1:
0 → Event will never happen.
1 → Event will always happen.
0.5 → Equal chance of happening or not happening.

🔹 Probability Formula:
🔹
P(A)=Total OutcomesFavorable Outcomes​
Example:
When tossing a fair coin,

Probability of getting heads: P(H)=21​

Probability of getting tails: P(T)=21​

2️⃣ Important Types of Probability

✅ Classical Probability → When all outcomes are equally likely (e.g., rolling a die).
✅ Empirical Probability → When probability is estimated from experiments or
✅ Subjective Probability → Based on personal judgment or experience.

Use Case Works well with structured, Works well with large, unstructured
limited data data

🔹 Example:
Parametric: Logistic Regression assumes data follows a linear relationship.
Non-Parametric: KNN does not assume any fixed form and adapts based on
neighbors.

(c) Basic Probability Theory & Bayes' Theorem (4 Marks)

Basic Probability Theory

Probability measures the likelihood of an event happening.

The probability of event A is:
P(A)=Total OutcomesFavorable Outcomes​

Bayes' Theorem

Bayes' Theorem helps update the probability of an event based on new evidence:

P(A∣B)=P(B)P(B∣A)⋅P(A)​
where,

P(A∣B) = Probability of A given B (posterior probability)

P(B∣A) = Probability of B given A
P(A) = Prior probability of A
P(B) = Total probability of B

🔹 Example: Medical Diagnosis

P(D) = Probability of having a disease = 0.01
P(T∣D) = Probability of testing positive if you have the disease = 0.9
P(T) = Probability of testing positive (including false positives) = 0.1

28/31
Using Bayes' Theorem, we can calculate the actual probability of having the disease
given a positive test.

Q2

(a) Linear Algebra in Machine Learning (5 Marks)

Linear Algebra is essential for ML because:

Vectors store features (e.g., pixel values in images).

Matrices represent datasets, where each row is a data point.
Matrix operations help optimize models (e.g., SVM, Neural Networks).

🔹 Example:
If you have three features and two data points, the dataset can be written as:

X=[14​25​36​]

(b) Support Vector Machines (5 Marks)

Support Vector Machines (SVM) is a supervised learning algorithm used for
classification.

How it Works?

1. SVM finds the best hyperplane that separates data into classes.
2. It maximizes the margin between two classes.
3. If data is not linearly separable, SVM uses kernel functions to transform data.

🔹 Example:
Linear SVM separates positive and negative classes using a straight line.
Non-Linear SVM uses the Kernel Trick to classify complex data.

Q3

(a) Clustering in Unsupervised Learning (5 Marks)

Clustering groups similar data points together without labeled data.

Two Clustering Algorithms:

29/31
 1. K-Means Clustering:

Divides data into K clusters.

Updates cluster centers iteratively.
Used in customer segmentation.
2. Hierarchical Clustering:

Forms a tree of clusters (dendrogram).

Merges closest points step by step.
Used in gene expression analysis.

(b) Dimensionality Reduction & PCA (5 Marks)

Dimensionality reduction removes redundant features to improve model performance.

🔹 Principal Component Analysis (PCA):

Converts data into new axes (principal components).
Keeps only most important features.
Used in image compression, feature selection.

🔹 Example:
If we have 1000 features, PCA can reduce it to 10 main components, making
computations faster.

Q4

(a) Neural Networks vs. Traditional Models (5 Marks)

Neural Networks (NN) mimic the human brain and outperform traditional ML models in
complex tasks.

Feature Neural Networks Traditional ML Models

Working Learns through multiple layers (Deep Uses fixed mathematical

Learning) models

Flexibility Handles complex data (images, text) Works better on structured

data

Training Longer (needs GPUs) Shorter

Time

Example CNNs (for images), RNNs (for time- Logistic Regression, Decision
series) Trees

(b) Kernel Methods in SVM (5 Marks)

30/31
Kernel Methods map data to a higher-dimensional space to make it linearly separable.

🔹 Common Kernels:
1. Linear Kernel: For linearly separable data.
2. Polynomial Kernel: For medium complexity data.
3. Radial Basis Function (RBF) Kernel: Maps data into infinite dimensions.

🔹 Example:
A simple XOR dataset is not separable in 2D, but using an RBF kernel, it can be
separated in higher dimensions.
