12. Sirisha and Divisha want to make a model which will organize the unlabeled input data into groups based on features. Which learning model should they use and why?
Ans: Clustering model/Unsupervised learning is used to organize the unlabeled input data into groups based on features.
Clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm which can cluster unknown data according to the patterns or trends identified out of it. The patterns observed might be the ones which are known to the developer or it might even come up with some unique patterns out of it.

17. Your grandmother watches you use AI applications. She wants to understand more about it. Help her understand the term artificial intelligence by giving the right definition and explain to her with an example how machines become artificially intelligent.
Ans: When a machine possesses the ability to mimic human traits, i.e., make decisions, predict the future, learn and improve on its own, it is said to have artificial intelligence. In other words, you can say that a machine is artificially intelligent when it can accomplish tasks by itself – collect data, understand it, analyse it, learn from it, and improve it.
Machines become intelligent once they are trained with some data which helps them achieve their tasks. AI machines also keep updating their knowledge to optimise their output. For example, Netflix gives us recommendations on the basis of what we like. Whenever we start liking a new genre, it updates and gives better suggestions.
18. Akhil wants to learn how to scope the problem for an AI Project. Explain him the following:
(a) 4W Problem Canvas
The 4Ws Problem canvas helps in identifying the key elements related to the problem. The 4Ws are Who, What, Where and Why
- The “Who” block helps in analysing the people getting affected directly or indirectly due to the problem.
- The “What” block helps us to determine the nature of the problem.
- The “Where” block helps us to look into the situation in which the problem arises, the context of it, and the locations where it is prominent.
- The “Why” block suggests to us the benefits which the stakeholders would get from the solution and how it will benefit them as well as the society
(b) Problem Statement Template
| Our | [stakeholders] | Who |
| Have a problem that | [need] | What |
| When/while | [context/ location/ situation] | Where |
| An ideal solution would be | [solution] | Why |
19. Identify and explain the types of the learning-based approaches in the figures given below.
Ans: The learning-based approaches shown in the given figures are Supervised learning and Unsupervised learning.
Figure 1: In a supervised learning model, the dataset which is fed to the machine is labelled. In other words, we can say that the dataset is known to the person who is training the machine only then he/she is able to label the data. A label is some information which can be used as a tag for data.
Here, labelled images of dog and cat are fed into the model and trained. The model correctly identifies the given input as dog.
Figure 2: An unsupervised learning model works on unlabelled dataset. This means that the data which is fed to the machine is random and there is a possibility that the person who is training the model does not have any information regarding it. The unsupervised learning models are used to identify relationships, patterns and trends out of the data which is fed into it. It helps the user in understanding what the data is about and what are the major features identified by the machine in it.
Here, images of a set of animals are fed into the AI model and the model clusters them based on similar features
20. We, human beings, can read, write and understand many languages. But computers can understand only machine language. Do you think we might face any challenges if we try to teach computers how to understand and interact in human languages? Explain.
Ans: Yes, we might face any challenges if we try to teach computers how to understand and interact in human languages.
The possible difficulties are:
- Arrangement of the words and meaning – the computer has to identify the different parts of a speech. Also, it may be extremely difficult for a computer to understand the meaning behind the language we use.
- Multiple Meanings of a word – same word can be used in a number of different ways which according to the context of the statement changes its meaning completely.
- Perfect Syntax, no Meaning – Sometimes, a statement can have a perfectly correct syntax but it does not mean anything. For example, take a look at this statement:
Chickens feed extravagantly while the moon drinks tea.
This statement is correct grammatically but does this make any sense? In Human language, a perfect balance of syntax and semantics is important for better understanding.
21. An AI model made the following sales prediction for a new mobile phone which they have recently launched:
| Confusion Matrix | Reality | ||
| Yes | No | ||
| Prediction | Yes | 50 | 40 |
| No | 12 | 10 | |
(i) Identify the total number of wrong predictions made by the model.
Ans: (i)the total number of wrong predictions made by the model is the sum of false positive and false negative. FP+FN=40+12= 52
(ii) Calculate precision, recall and F1 Score.
Ans: Precision=TP/(TP+FP)
=50/(50+40) 50/90
=0.55
Recall=TP/(TP+FN)
=50/(50+12)
=50/62
=.81
F1 Score = 2*Precision*Recall/(Precision+Recall)
=2*0.55*.81/(.55+.81)
=.891/1.36
=0.65
