Q1. Difference between entropy & information gain
Ans. 
Entropy measures randomness in data, while information gain measures the reduction in uncertainty after splitting data.
• Entropy is used in decision trees to measure impurity in a dataset before splitting it.

• Information gain is used in decision trees to measure the effectiveness of a split in reducing uncertainty.

• Entropy ranges from 0 (pure dataset) to 1 (completely impure dataset).

• Information gain is calculated as the d...read more

Q2. LSTM & GRU, Which to use when ?
Ans. 
LSTM for longer sequences, GRU for faster training and less complex models.
• Use LSTM for tasks requiring long-term dependencies and memory retention.

• Use GRU for faster training and simpler models with fewer parameters.

• Consider using LSTM for tasks like language translation or speech recognition.

• Consider using GRU for tasks like sentiment analysis or text generation.
