The AWS Certified Machine Learning Engineer – Associate (MLA-C01) exam validates your skills in building, training, and deploying machine learning models on AWS. It is ideal for those looking to specialize in machine learning.
You are configuring a machine learning model using multiple input features. What happens if you include a feature with significantly higher variance than others?
AModel performance improves
BFeature normalization is unnecessary
CIt may dominate other features
DOnly affects training time
Explanation
A feature with higher variance can dominate model training, potentially leading to worse generalization, while the other choices are misleading.
Q202
Which AWS service is designed specifically for building and training machine learning models?
AAmazon SageMaker
BAWS Lambda
CAWS CodePipeline
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
Amazon SageMaker is purpose-built for machine learning; the others serve different functions.
Q203
A company needs to deploy a machine learning model with automatic scaling. Which AWS service should they use?
AAWS Elastic Beanstalk
BAWS EC2
CAWS Fargate
DAWS Glue
Explanation
AWS Fargate provides automatic scaling for containerized applications; the other options do not have this feature.
Q204
What happens when you enable data versioning on an AWS S3 bucket?
ADelete old versions permanently
BTrack every object version
CCompress objects automatically
DEncrypt all data automatically
Explanation
Data versioning allows tracking of every object version; the other options do not pertain to versioning.
Q205
Which service is best suited for real-time data analytics on streaming data?
AAmazon Kinesis
BAmazon S3
CAmazon RDS
DAmazon Athena
Explanation
Amazon Kinesis specializes in real-time data processing, while the others are for storage and querying.
Q206
A company needs to improve their machine learning model accuracy. Which approach is NOT recommended?
ACollect more diverse training data
BUse regularization techniques
CIncrease model complexity without limits
DConduct hyperparameter tuning
Explanation
Increased model complexity can lead to overfitting, unlike the other approaches which aim to improve generalization.
Q207
What happens when an IAM policy explicitly denies access?
AAccess is always granted
BAccess is denied regardless of permissions
CAccess is allowed if explicitly permitted
DAccess is denied only for specific resources
Explanation
An explicit deny in IAM policies overrides any allow permissions, ensuring access is denied.
Q208
A data scientist wants to deploy a TensorFlow model using serverless architecture. Which AWS service is most suitable?
AAWS Lambda
BAmazon EC2
CAmazon SageMaker
DAWS Batch
Explanation
Amazon SageMaker provides managed services for deploying ML models efficiently.
Q209
What is a key benefit of using Amazon Rekognition for image analysis?
ACustom model training
BLive streaming video processing
CAutomatic scaling management
DFacial recognition and analysis
Explanation
Amazon Rekognition specializes in facial recognition and image analysis tasks.
Q210
You are configuring a batch transform job in Amazon SageMaker. What happens if you forget to specify the S3 output path?
AJob will fail immediately
BDefault path is used
CNo results will be saved
DOutput will be logged to CloudWatch
Explanation
If an output path is not provided, results will not be saved in S3.
