Q2. Explain completed gen ai project
Ans. 
Developed a generative AI model to create realistic images of fictional characters.
• Used GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) to generate new images based on existing data.

• Trained the model on a dataset of character images from various sources.

• Implemented techniques like style transfer to enhance the diversity and creativity of generated images.

• Evaluated the model's performance based on image quality metrics and user

Q1. Given a variable, how to do Linear Regression?
Ans. 
Linear regression is a statistical method used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
• Collect data on the variables of interest

• Plot the data to visualize the relationship between the variables

• Choose a suitable linear regression model (simple or multiple)

• Fit the model to the data using a regression algorithm (e.g. least squares)

• Evaluate the model's performance using ...read more

Q2. How Linear Regression handles noise?
Ans. 
Linear Regression minimizes noise by fitting a line that best represents the relationship between variables.
• Linear Regression minimizes the sum of squared errors between the actual data points and the predicted values on the line.

• It assumes that the noise in the data is normally distributed with a mean of zero.

• Outliers in the data can significantly impact the regression line and its accuracy.

• Regularization techniques l...read more

Q3. Solve two equations to find coefficients?
Ans. 
Use linear algebra to solve for coefficients in two equations.
• Set up the two equations with unknown coefficients

• Solve the equations simultaneously using methods like substitution or elimination

• Example: 2x + 3y = 10 and 4x - y = 5, solve for x and y
