Fractal Analytics Senior Data Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. What is Overfitting in decision tree
Ans. 
Overfitting in decision trees occurs when the model learns noise in the training data rather than the underlying pattern.
• Overfitting happens when the decision tree is too complex and captures noise in the training data.

• It leads to poor generalization on unseen data, as the model is too specific to the training set.

• To prevent overfitting, techniques like pruning, setting a minimum number of samples per leaf, or using en

Q2. What is bagging
Ans. 
Bagging is a machine learning ensemble technique where multiple models are trained on different subsets of the training data and their predictions are combined.
• Bagging stands for Bootstrap Aggregating.

• It helps reduce overfitting by combining the predictions of multiple models.

• Random Forest is a popular algorithm that uses bagging by training multiple decision trees on random subsets of the data.

Q3. What is neuron How its used in DL
Ans. 
A neuron is a basic unit of a neural network that receives input, processes it, and produces an output.
• Neurons are inspired by biological neurons in the human brain.

• They receive input signals, apply weights to them, sum them up, and pass the result through an activation function.

• Neurons are organized in layers in a neural network, with each layer performing specific tasks.

• In deep learning, multiple layers of neurons ar...read more

Q3. Difference between random forest and decision tree
Ans. 
Random forest is an ensemble learning method using multiple decision trees to improve accuracy and reduce overfitting.
• Random forest uses multiple decision trees to make predictions.

• Decision tree is a single tree structure used for classification and regression.

• Random forest reduces overfitting by averaging the predictions of multiple trees.

• Decision tree can be prone to overfitting if not pruned properly.

• Random forest i...read more
