AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) — Question 19

A company wants to classify human genes into 20 categories based on gene characteristics. The company needs an ML algorithm to document how the inner mechanism of the model affects the output.
Which ML algorithm meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Decision trees
• B. Linear regression
• C. Logistic regression
• D. Neural networks

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Decision trees are ideal for this scenario as they provide clear and interpretable rules that explain how decisions are made, making it easier to understand the model’s inner workings. In contrast, linear regression and logistic regression do not offer the same level of interpretability regarding their decision-making processes, while neural networks are often seen as black boxes due to their complexity and lack of transparency.
