Resolved: Why is "linearly separable" wrong?
It litterally says around 0:50 that the linear classifier works because the data is "linearly separable" - it is even written on the screen. Why is "linear" the correct answer to this quiz?
I guess it's a noun vs. adjective problem.
So, the question asks "Data that can be classified using a linear model is called". This means the question is aking for what the data is or what kind it is (the NOUN).
It would have been a different thing if the question reads: "Data that can be classified using a linear model is said to be". In this second case, what would be required as the answer is the attribute/characteristic (a.k.a, the ADJECTIVE).
P.S: I got it wrong as well and asked myself this same question. Then, I reviewed the question again and this is the explanation I gave myself. I hope it helps.
Thanks Jonathan, that does sound logical. However, I would have hoped from the course creator to avoid ambiguous phrasing in these questions. It is not a language test after all
True that, the ambiguity wasn't necessary.
