📗 (Fall 2013 Final Q5) Consider binary classification in 2D where the intended label of a point \(x = \begin{bmatrix} x_{1} \\ x_{2} \end{bmatrix}\) is positive (1) if \(x_{1} > x_{2}\) and negative (0) otherwise. Let the training set be all points of the form \(x\) = where \(a, b\) are integers. Each training item has the correct label that follows the rule above. With a 1NN classifier (Euclidean distance), which ones of the following points are labeled positive?
📗 Hint: if multiple instances have the same distance to the new point, use the instances with larger x values.
📗 Choices:
📗 (Fall 2012 Final Q4) Consider points in 2D and binary labels. Given the training data in the table, and use Manhattan distance with 1NN, which of the following points in 2D are classified as 1? Answer the question by first drawing the decision boundaries (the drawing is not graded).

📗 Hint: as discussed in the lectures, if multiple instances have the same distance to the new point, use the ones with smaller indices.

📗 (Fall 2016 Final Q11) Consider a training set with 8 items. The first dimension of their feature vectors are: . However, this dimension is continuous (i.e. it is a real number). To build a decision tree, one may ask questions in the form "Is \(x_{1} \geq \theta\)"? where \(\theta\) is a threshold value. Ideally, what is the maximum number of different \(\theta\) values should we consider for the first dimension \(x_{1}\)?
📗 Answer: .
📗 (Fall 2014 Midterm Q9, Fall 2012 Final Q6) A decision tree has depth \(d\) = (a decision tree where the root is a leaf node has \(d\) = 0). All its internal node has children. The tree is also complete, meaning all leaf nodes are at depth \(d\). If we require each leaf node to contain at least training examples, what is the minimum size of the training set?
📗 Answer: .
📗 (Fall 2014 Midterm Q10) A bag contains different colored balls. Randomly draw a ball from the bag with equal probability. What is the entropy of the outcome?
📗 Hint: log based 2 of x can be found by log(x) / log(2).
📗 Answer: .
📗 (Fall 2013 Final Q12, Fall 2011 Midterm Q4, Fall 2010 Final Q10) Statistically, December 18 is the cloudiest day of the year in Madison, Wisconsin. Your professor (not me) is not making this up. On that day, the sky is overcast, mostly cloudy, or partly cloudy of the time (C = 0), and clear or mostly clear of the time (C = 1). What is the entropy of the binary random variable C?
📗 Hint: log based 2 of x can be found by log(x) / log(2).
📗 Answer: .
📗 (Fall 2012 Final Q5, Fall 2011 Midterm Q5) The RDA Corporation has a prison with many cells. Without justification, you're about to be randomly thrown into a cell with equal probability. Cells to have Toruks that eat prisoners. Cells to are safe. With sufficient bribe, the warden will answer your question "Will I be in cell 1?" What's the mutual information (we call it information gain) between the warden's answer and your encounter with the Toruks?
📗 Note: I didn't write the stories in these questions, so I don't know the reference too.
📗 Compute the information gain based on entropy of Toruks and conditional entropy of Toruks given whether you are in cell 1. See Fall 2011 Midterm Q5 for more hints.
