Question type Description Questions using this type
"definition" tests definitional knowledge
"calculation" the answer needs to be derived by means of calculation
"problem-solving" the question requires reasoning beyond calculation
"training" the question is about training particular models
"evaluation" the question is about evaluating particular models
Question difficulty Guideline Questions of this difficulty
1 can be answered by looking up a specific passage in the book (e.g., match the following impurity measures with their mathematical definition)
2 requires some straightforward reasoning or calculation (e.g., complete the following contingency table)
3 requires more involved reasoning or calculation (e.g., a question involving some training data)
