Inductive Bias

  • Set of assumptions that the learner uses to predict outputs of given inputs that it has not yet encountered
  • In Bayesian
  • In KNN
    • we assume that similar data points are clustered near each other away from the dissimilar ones
  • in LinearRegression
    • we assume that the variable Y is linearly dependent on the explanatory variables X.
    • Therefore, the resulting model linearly fits the training data. However, this assumption can limit the model’s capacity to learn non-linear functions.
  • in Logistic Regression
    • assume that there’s a hyperplane that separates the two classes from each other. This simplifies the problem, but one can imagine that if the assumption is not valid, we won’t have a good model.
