DELNOVA HEALTHCARE Senior Scientist Interview Questions and Answers

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...read more

Q2. Parameters of Decision Tree
Ans. 
Parameters of a Decision Tree include max depth, min samples split, criterion, and splitter.
• Max depth: maximum depth of the tree

• Min samples split: minimum number of samples required to split an internal node

• Criterion: function to measure the quality of a split (e.g. 'gini' or 'entropy')

• Splitter: strategy used to choose the split at each node (e.g. 'best' or 'random')

Q2. Comparison of transfer learning and fintuning.
Ans. 
Transfer learning involves using pre-trained models on a different task, while fine-tuning involves further training a pre-trained model on a specific task.
• Transfer learning uses knowledge gained from one task to improve learning on a different task.

• Fine-tuning involves adjusting the parameters of a pre-trained model to better fit a specific task.

• Transfer learning is faster and requires less data compared to training a...read more

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)
