Accenture Ai Ml Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. What is OHE ( one hot encoding)
Ans. 
OHE is a technique used in machine learning to convert categorical data into a binary format.
• OHE is used to convert categorical variables into a format that can be provided to ML algorithms.

• Each category is represented by a binary vector where only one element is 'hot' (1) and the rest are 'cold' (0).

• For example, if we have a 'color' feature with categories 'red', 'blue', 'green', OHE would represent them as [1, 0, 0],...read more

Q2. What is conditional probability
Ans. 
Conditional probability is the likelihood of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred.
• Conditional probability is calculated using the formula P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

• It represents the probability of event A happening, given that event B has already occurred

• Conditional probability is used in various fields such as machine learning, statistics, and finance

Q3. What is precision, recall
Ans. 
Precision and recall are evaluation metrics used in machine learning to measure the performance of a classification model.
• Precision is the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total predicted positive observations.

• Recall is the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the all observations in actual class.

• Precision is important when the cost of false positives is high, while recall is i...read more

Q1. Explain Oops concepts
Ans. 
Oops concepts refer to Object-Oriented Programming principles such as Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, and Abstraction.
• Inheritance: Allows a class to inherit properties and behavior from another class.

• Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit.

• Polymorphism: Ability to present the same interface for different data types.

• Abstraction: Hiding the complex implementation det...read more

Q3. Explain supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms of your choice.
Ans. 
Supervised learning uses labeled data to train a model, while unsupervised learning finds patterns in unlabeled data.
• Supervised learning requires input-output pairs for training

• Examples include linear regression, support vector machines, and neural networks

• Unsupervised learning clusters data based on similarities or patterns

• Examples include k-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, and principal component analysis

Q2. What is cosine similarity?
Ans. 
Cosine similarity is a measure of similarity between two non-zero vectors in an inner product space.
• It measures the cosine of the angle between the two vectors.

• Values range from -1 (completely opposite) to 1 (exactly the same).

• Used in recommendation systems, text mining, and clustering algorithms.

Q3. What is difference between iterator and iterable?
Ans. 
Iterator is an object that allows iteration over a collection, while iterable is an object that can be iterated over.
• Iterator is an object with a next() method that returns the next item in the collection.

• Iterable is an object that has an __iter__() method which returns an iterator.

• Example: List is iterable, while iter(list) returns an iterator.

Q5. How did you evaluate your model. what is F1 score.
Ans. 
F1 score is a metric used to evaluate the performance of a classification model by considering both precision and recall.
• F1 score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall, calculated as 2 * (precision * recall) / (precision + recall).

• It is a better metric than accuracy when dealing with imbalanced datasets.

• A high F1 score indicates a model with both high precision and high recall.

• F1 score ranges from 0 to 1, where ...read more
