Question 3 of 8

 

How does feature selection help prevent overfitting?

A

By adding more noise to the data

B

By including all available features

C

By removing irrelevant features that could lead to noise

D

By making the model more complex

Question 4 of 8

Which statement best describes how companies like Spotify use feature selection?

A

They use all available data without selection

B

They only use basic features like song titles
