MLS-C01 Specialist Practice Questions
The free AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty (MLS-C01) questions that deal with specialist, with answers and explanations. The full bank and the timed practice test cover every topic the exam asks about.
Question #2
A Machine Learning Specialist built an image classification deep learning model. However the Specialist ran into an overfitting problem in which the training and testing accuracies were 99% and 75%r respectively. How should the Specialist address this issue and what is the reason behind it?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Training accuracy of 99 percent against 75 percent on test data shows the model memorised the training set, so increasing dropout at the flatten layer regularises it and improves generalisation. More epochs or a wider dense layer would worsen overfitting.
Question #4
A Machine Learning Specialist wants to determine the appropriate SageMakerVariant Invocations Per Instance setting for an endpoint automatic scaling configuration. The Specialist has performed a load test on a single instance and determined that peak requests per second (RPS) without service degradation is about 20 RPS As this is the first deployment, the Specialist intends to set the invocation safety factor to 0 5 Based on the stated parameters and given that the invocations per instance setting is measured on a per-minute basis, what should the Specialist set as the sageMakervariantinvocationsPerinstance setting?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The setting is per minute, so 20 RPS times 60 seconds gives 1,200 invocations, and applying the 0.5 safety factor yields 600.
Question #5
A Machine Learning Specialist was given a dataset consisting of unlabeled data The Specialist must create a model that can help the team classify the data into different buckets What model should be used to complete this work?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The data is unlabeled, so an unsupervised algorithm is required, and k-means groups records into a chosen number of buckets. XGBoost and BlazingText classification need labels, and RCF finds anomalies rather than groups.
Question #6
A Machine Learning Specialist is working for a credit card processing company and receives an unbalanced dataset containing credit card transactions. It contains 99,000 valid transactions and 1,000 fraudulent transactions The Specialist is asked to score a model that was run against the dataset The Specialist has been advised that identifying valid transactions is equally as important as identifying fraudulent transactions What metric is BEST suited to score the model?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
With 99,000 valid against 1,000 fraudulent records, accuracy, precision and recall mislead. AUC evaluates performance across all thresholds, so errors on valid and fraudulent transactions are weighted equally.
Question #7
While working on a neural network project, a Machine Learning Specialist discovers thai some features in the data have very high magnitude resulting in this data being weighted more in the cost function What should the Specialist do to ensure better convergence during backpropagation?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Large-magnitude features dominate the gradients and make convergence slow and uneven. Normalizing features to a common scale conditions the cost surface, so backpropagation converges better than dimensionality reduction or regularization would achieve.
Question #9
A Machine Learning Specialist is packaging a custom ResNet model into a Docker container so the company can leverage Amazon SageMaker for training The Specialist is using Amazon EC2 P3 instances to train the model and needs to properly configure the Docker container to leverage the NVIDIA GPUs What does the Specialist need to do1?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The container only gains GPU access if it is built to be NVIDIA-Docker compatible, since the drivers come from the host instance. Bundling drivers manually and there being no GPU flag in the training request are incorrect.
