Ready? Let’s test your Day-26 knowledge

Start

Question 1 of 4

 

What is the main difference between LightGBM's leaf-wise growth strategy and the traditional level-wise approach?

A

Leaf-wise growth creates more balanced trees

B

Leaf-wise growth adds nodes to all branches simultaneously

C

Leaf-wise growth focuses on the most promising branches first, creating deeper, optimized trees

D

Leaf-wise growth creates wider trees with more branches at each level

Question 2 of 4

 

How does LightGBM's histogram-based algorithm improve performance?

A

It creates more accurate predictions by using advanced statistical methods

B

It bins continuous features to reduce memory usage and speed up computations

C

It eliminates the need for gradient boosting entirely

D

It automatically selects the best features without user input

Question 3 of 4

 

In LightGBM, what is the rule of thumb for setting the num_leaves hyperparameter in relation to max_depth?

A

num_leaves should equal max_depth

B

num_leaves should be less than or equal to 2^max_depth - 1

C

num_leaves should always be at least 100

D

num_leaves has no relationship to max_depth

Question 4 of 4

When would you choose LightGBM over XGBoost for a machine learning project?

A

When you need a more robust model that works well on any dataset size

B

When your priority is having the most established algorithm with the longest history

C

When you're working with massive datasets and processing speed is critical

D

When you need maximum built-in protection against overfitting
