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)

Q2. XgBoost algorithm has 10-20 features. How are the splits decided, on which feature are they going to be divided?
Ans. 
XgBoost algorithm uses a greedy approach to determine splits based on feature importance.
• XgBoost algorithm calculates the information gain for each feature to determine the best split.

• The feature with the highest information gain is chosen for the split.

• This process is repeated recursively for each node in the tree.

• Features can be split based on numerical values or categories.

• Example: If a feature like 'age' has the hi...read more

Q6. Explain precision and recall, when are they used in which scenario?
Ans. 
Precision and recall are metrics used in evaluating the performance of classification models.
• Precision measures the accuracy of positive predictions, while recall measures the ability of the model to find all positive instances.

• Precision = TP / (TP + FP)

• Recall = TP / (TP + FN)

• Precision is important when false positives are costly, while recall is important when false negatives are costly.

• For example, in a spam email de...read more

Q7. What is data imbalance?
Ans. 
Data imbalance refers to unequal distribution of classes in a dataset, where one class has significantly more samples than others.
• Data imbalance can lead to biased models that favor the majority class.

• It can result in poor performance for minority classes, as the model may struggle to accurately predict them.

• Techniques like oversampling, undersampling, and using different evaluation metrics can help address data imbala...read more
