問 65
Incorrectア
It sets a: regression and b: classification, swapping a and b. [ a ] should be “dividing into multiple classes” = classification, not regression. Regression is a method that finds relationships (continuous values), so it should come at [ b ]; the correspondence is reversed, so it is wrong.
Incorrectイ
It sets a: clustering and c: regression. Clustering is an unsupervised-learning method that does not use correct-answer labels, so it is unsuitable for [ a ] in supervised learning. Also, [ c ] should be a grouping method = clustering; regression cannot explain “grouping”, so it is wrong.
- ウ
正解 The correct answer is “ウ” (a: classification, b: regression, c: clustering). Supervised learning uses training data labeled with correct answers. [ a ] is a method that “divides unknown data into multiple classes”, so “classification”, which assigns data into pre-prepared classes (categories), fits. [ b ] is a method that “finds relationships among data”; “regression”, which finds the continuous correspondence (numerical trend) between input and output, fits. Unsupervised learning gives no correct-answer labels, and [ c ] is a method that “gradually becomes able to correctly group the data”, so “clustering”, which automatically forms groups (clusters) from the similarity among data, fits. Therefore “ウ”, the combination a = classification, b = regression, c = clustering, is correct.
Incorrectエ
a: classification is correct, but b: clustering and c: regression are wrong. [ b ] should be “finding relationships among data” = regression, not clustering (unsupervised grouping). [ c ] should be “grouping” = clustering; regression does not fit.
- The representative methods of supervised learning are “classification” (assigning data into discrete classes) and “regression” (predicting continuous values and relationships); the representative method of unsupervised learning is “clustering” (automatically grouping by similarity without labels).
- Distinguish by matching keywords to methods: “dividing into multiple classes” → classification, “finding relationships (continuous values)” → regression, “gradually grouping without correct answers” → clustering.
