Short Answer

What term describes an algorithm with high bias and low variance?

Question: If a classifier has a 15% training error and its dev set error is barely higher (1% variance), what specific term describes this algorithm's behavior?

Sample answer: This algorithm is described as underfitting.

Key points:

  • High bias and low variance.
  • The condition is called underfitting.

Rubric: The student must identify the specific term 'underfitting' based on the high bias and low variance description.
