Round 1 - One-on-one 

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. Explain L1 & L2 regularization
  • Ans. 

    L1 & L2 regularization are techniques used in machine learning to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the cost function.

    • L1 regularization adds the absolute values of the coefficients as penalty term (Lasso regression)

    • L2 regularization adds the squared values of the coefficients as penalty term (Ridge regression)

    • L1 regularization encourages sparsity in the model, while L2 regularization tends to shrink the c...

  • Q2. Explain error metric
  • Ans. 

    Error metric is a measure used to evaluate the performance of a model by comparing predicted values to actual values.

    • Error metric quantifies the difference between predicted values and actual values.

    • Common error metrics include Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and R-squared.

    • Lower values of error metric indicate better performance of the model.

    • Error metric helps in und...

    • Select relevant features for the model

    • Train individual decision trees using the data

    • Combine the decision trees into an ensemble

    • Evaluate the performance of the random forest model

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What is bias variance trade-off
  • Ans. 

    Bias-variance trade-off is the balance between overfitting and underfitting in a model.

    • Bias is the error due to assumptions made in the learning algorithm. Variance is the error due to sensitivity to small fluctuations in the training set.

    • High bias leads to underfitting, while high variance leads to overfitting.

    • The goal is to find the sweet spot where the model has low bias and low variance, which results in good gener...
