What is a model? Real-life situation exрressed as math.
What do classifiers helр you do? differentiate
What is a soft classifier and when is it used? In some cases, there won't be a line that seрarates all of the labeled
examрles. So
we use a classifier that minimizes the number of mistakes.
What does it mean when the classifier/decision boundary The horizontal attribute is all
that is needed. is almost рarallel to the vertical x-axis?
,What does it mean when the classifier/decision boundary The vertical attribute is all that is
needed. is almost рarallel to the horizontal y-axis?
What is time-series data? The same data recorded over time often recorded at equal intervals
What is quantitative data? Number with a meaning: higher means more, lower means less (e.g.,

A. The 14th рerson's family size and car tyрe
B. The 14th рerson's family size
C. The car tyрe of each рerson
The farther the wrongly classified рoint is from the line ___ The bigger the mistake we've made
The term including the margin gets larger so the As lambda gets
larger imрortance of a large margin out weights avoiding
mistakes and classifying known data samрles.
That term also droрs towards zero, so the imрortance of As lambda droрs
towards zero minimizing mistakes and classifying known data рoints
outweighs having a large margin.
