Adversarial attacks are malicious attempts to fool or manipulate machine learning models by adding small perturbations to the input data that are imperceptible to humans but can cause significant changes in the model output. In general, models that perform their tasks more accurately are less robust against adversarial attacks, because they tend to have higher confidence in their predictions and are more sensitive to small changes in the input data.

The optimal value of K is the one that minimizes the inertia or within-cluster sum of squares, while avoiding too many clusters that may overfit the data. The elbow plot shows a sharp decrease in inertia from K = 1 to K = 2, and then a more gradual decrease from K = 2 to K = 3. After K = 3, the inertia does not change much as K increases. Therefore, the elbow point is at K = 3, which is the optimal value of K for this data. References: How to Run K-Means Clustering in Python, K-means clustering - Wikipedia

Semi-supervised learning is a type of machine learning that uses both labeled and unlabeled data to train a model. Semi-supervised learning can be useful when:

• Labeling data is challenging and expensive: Labeling data requires human intervention and domain expertise, which can be costly and time-consuming. Semi-supervised learning can leverage the large amount of unlabeled data that is easier and cheaper to obtain and use it to improve the model’s performance.
• There is a large amount of unlabeled data to be used for predictions: Unlabeled data can provide additional information and diversity to the model, which can help it learn more complex patterns and generalize better to new data. Semi-supervised learning can use various techniques, such as self-training, co-training, or generative models, to incorporate unlabeled data into the learning process.

 Retraining is the process of updating an existing ML model with new or updated data to maintain or improve its performance and relevance. Retraining can help address various issues or challenges in ML systems, such as data drift, concept drift, model degradation, or changing requirements. Retraining can be done using different strategies, such as periodically, continuously, or on-demand.

For an AI system that recommends New Year’s resolutions, retraining periodically every year would be the best strategy for this pipeline. This is because New Year’s resolutions are seasonal and time-sensitive, meaning that they may vary depending on the year or the current situation. Retraining periodically every year can help ensure that the system’s recommendations are up-to-date and relevant for each new year.
