Question 8

+4 marksNumerical answer

Consider a kernel regression problem on the following dataset with two features:

{(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(x3,y3)}\{(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), (x_3, y_3)\}

where:

x1=[12]T,y1=3,x2=[23]T,y2=5,x3=[34]T,y3=7x_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}^T, y_1 = 3, \quad x_2 = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}^T, y_2 = 5, \quad x_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}^T, y_3 = 7

The kernel function is given as:

K(x,x′)=(1+x⊤x′)2K(x, x') = (1 + x^\top x')^2

and the optimal coefficients αi\alpha_i are given as:

α=[0.51.01.5]T.\alpha = \begin{bmatrix} 0.5 & 1.0 & 1.5 \end{bmatrix}^T.

Then, what will be the predicted value for the data point [22]T\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}^T?

Show answer

Correct answer: 483
