Round 1 - Technical 

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. Difference between bagging and boosting
  • Ans. 

    Bagging and boosting are ensemble learning techniques used to improve the performance of machine learning models by combining multiple weak learners.

    • Bagging (Bootstrap Aggregating) involves training multiple models independently on different subsets of the training data and then combining their predictions through averaging or voting.

    • Boosting involves training multiple models sequentially, where each subsequent model c...

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I was pretty much sure that I would pass L1 round and hoping for L2 round. I was interviewing for Generative AI Engineer. It was full 1 hr. The interviewer was less experienced than me. He asked me about my current work and focused more on previous work. I gave 80% correct answers and still did not make it. Don't know what they were expecting from me. Then I thought, maybe they are just taking the interview for the name sake. Sometimes, rejections are baseless.

  • Q1. Which GenAI projects I have worked on
  • Q2. What is the context window in LLMs
  • Ans. 

    Context window in LLMs refers to the number of surrounding words considered when predicting the next word in a sequence.

    • Context window helps LLMs capture dependencies between words in a sentence.

    • A larger context window allows the model to consider more context but may lead to increased computational complexity.

    • For example, in a context window of 2, the model considers 2 words before and 2 words after the target word fo

  • Q3. What is top_k parameter
  • Ans. 

    top_k parameter is used to specify the number of top elements to be returned in a result set.

    • top_k parameter is commonly used in machine learning algorithms to limit the number of predictions or recommendations.

    • For example, in recommendation systems, setting top_k=5 will return the top 5 recommended items for a user.

    • In natural language processing tasks, top_k can be used to limit the number of possible next words in a

  • Q4. What are regex patterns in python
  • Ans. 

    Regex patterns in Python are sequences of characters that define a search pattern.

    • Regex patterns are used for pattern matching and searching in strings.

    • They are created using the 're' module in Python.

    • Examples of regex patterns include searching for email addresses, phone numbers, or specific words in a text.

  • Q5. What are iterators and tuples
  • Ans. 

    Iterators are objects that allow iteration over a sequence of elements. Tuples are immutable sequences of elements.

    • Iterators are used to loop through elements in a collection, like lists or dictionaries

    • Tuples are similar to lists but are immutable, meaning their elements cannot be changed

    • Example of iterator: for item in list: print(item)

    • Example of tuple: my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
