Which of the following describes a neural network without an activation function?

AA form of a linear regression

BA form of a quantile regression

CAn unsupervised learning technique

DA radial basis function kernel

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C, E

Lasso regression and ridge regression are both types of linear regression models that can handle high-dimensional and categorical data. They use regularization techniques to reduce the complexity of the model and avoid overfitting. Lasso regression uses L1 regularization, which adds a penalty term proportional to the absolute value of the coefficients to the loss function. This can shrink some coefficients to zero and perform feature selection. Ridge regression uses L2 regularization, which adds a penalty term proportional to the square of the coefficients to the loss function. This can shrink all coefficients towards zero and reduce multicollinearity. Reference: [Lasso (statistics) - Wikipedia], [Ridge regression - Wikipedia]

I don't think it's an unsupervised technique, but I'm confused about the radial basis function kernel. Could that be related?

Ah, I think I've got it! A neural network without an activation function would just be a linear model, so the answer must be A - a form of linear regression. Glad I could figure that out.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I know neural networks use activation functions to introduce non-linearity, but I'm not certain what you'd call a network without one. Maybe B - a form of quantile regression? I'll have to double-check my notes.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. A neural network without an activation function would essentially just be a linear model, right? So the answer is probably A - a form of linear regression.
