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)

Q1. What is difference between bias and variance
Ans. 
Bias is error due to overly simplistic assumptions, variance is error due to overly complex models.
• Bias is the error introduced by approximating a real-world problem, leading to underfitting.

• Variance is the error introduced by modeling the noise in the training data, leading to overfitting.

• High bias can cause a model to miss relevant relationships between features and target variable.

• High variance can cause a model to ...read more

Q2. Parametric vs non parametruc model
Ans. 
Parametric models make strong assumptions about the form of the underlying data distribution, while non-parametric models do not.
• Parametric models have a fixed number of parameters, while non-parametric models have a flexible number of parameters.

• Parametric models are simpler and easier to interpret, while non-parametric models are more flexible and can capture complex patterns in data.

• Examples of parametric models inc...read more

Q2. Chunking in LLM
Ans. 
Chunking in LLM refers to breaking down text into smaller chunks for better processing by the language model.
• Chunking helps improve the efficiency of the language model by breaking down large text inputs into smaller segments.

• It can help the model better understand the context and relationships within the text.

• Chunking is commonly used in natural language processing tasks such as text summarization and sentiment analys

Q1. How tfidf works in NLP
Ans. 
TF-IDF is a statistical measure used to evaluate the importance of a word in a document.
• TF-IDF stands for Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency

• It is used to weigh a word's importance in a document by considering its frequency in the document and across all documents

• The formula for TF-IDF is: TF-IDF = TF * IDF

• TF (Term Frequency) measures how frequently a term appears in a document

• IDF (Inverse Document Frequency) mea...read more
