Question 1 of 3
What is one main purpose of dimensionality reduction?
- A. To add more redundant features
- B. To reduce noise and simplify high-dimensional feature spaces
- C. To replace all model evaluation metrics
- D. To guarantee fairness automatically
Correct Answer: B
Feedback: Dimensionality reduction helps simplify feature spaces and improve efficiency.
Which concept helps manage and reuse features consistently across models in production?
- A. Label smoothing
- B. Random oversampling
- C. One-hot encoding
- D. Feature stores
Correct Answer: D
Feedback: Feature stores help standardise, serve and govern features at scale.
Why is feature drift monitoring important in production systems?
- A. Feature distributions can change over time and reduce model quality
- B. It removes the need for retraining
- C. It guarantees stable business conditions
- D. It prevents all missing data
Correct Answer: A
Feedback: Monitoring drift helps teams detect shifts before model performance degrades.
