5 Explain the kernel trick in SVM. How does it enable non-linear
classification? Give examples of commonly used kernels.
6 What are linear discriminants in machine learning?
Explain their purpose and how they are used in
classification tasks with suitable mathematical
formulation and examples.
7 Describe the perceptron classifier. How does it function as a
linear classifier, and under what conditions does it converge?
8 How is logistic regression different from linear
regression? Discuss the use of cost functions and
optimization in both models.
9 Explain how linear discriminants are used for classification tasks.
Derive the decision boundary for two-class classification.
1 Explain the working of a Support Vector Machine
0 (SVM) for linearly separable data?
1 Derive the logistic regression model for binary classification.
1 Explain how maximum likelihood estimation is used to train it.
1 What is a perceptron? Explain the architecture and
2 functioning of a single-layer perceptron used for
classification.
1 Explain the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm Describe
3 the E and M steps in detail.
1 Explain agglomerative clustering in detail. What
4 linkage criteria are used, and how do they affect the
resulting clusters?
1 What is spectral clustering? Discuss its working and
5 applications.
1 What is soft partitioning in clustering? Compare and contrast it
6 with hard partitioning using relevant examples.
1 Discuss the concept of soft clustering. Why is it useful in certain
7 applications? Provide examples where soft clustering is preferred
over hard clustering.
1 Explain the K-Means clustering algorithm in detail.
8 Include the steps involved, distance measures used?
1 Describe fuzzy C-means clustering?
