    Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that uses algorithms to learn from data and make predictions.

    • AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks in a way that we would consider 'smart'.

    • ML (Machine Learning) is a subset of AI that focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves.

    • DL (Deep Learning) is ...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Evaluation Metrics for Classification
  • Ans. 

    Evaluation metrics are used to assess the performance of classification models.

    • Common evaluation metrics include accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC-AUC.

    • Accuracy measures the overall correctness of the model's predictions.

    • Precision measures the proportion of true positive predictions out of all positive predictions.

    • Recall measures the proportion of true positive predictions out of all actual positives.

    • F1 sco...

Round 2 - One-on-one 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Window Function of SQL
  • Ans. 

    Window functions in SQL allow you to perform calculations across a set of table rows related to the current row.

    • Window functions are used to perform calculations on a set of rows related to the current row.

    • They do not reduce the number of rows returned by the query.

    • Common window functions include ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), DENSE_RANK(), and NTILE().

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Index and Procedure in SQL
  • Ans. 

    Indexes are used to improve the performance of SQL queries by allowing faster data retrieval. Procedures are reusable SQL code blocks.

    • Indexes are used to quickly locate data without having to scan the entire table.

    • Procedures are stored SQL code blocks that can be executed multiple times.

    • Indexes can be created on columns to speed up search queries.

    • Procedures can accept input parameters and return results.
