  • Q1. About the pervious Project?
  • Q2. How ensemble techniques works?
  • Ans. 

    Ensemble techniques combine multiple models to improve prediction accuracy.

    • Ensemble techniques can be used with various types of models, such as decision trees, neural networks, and support vector machines.

    • Common ensemble techniques include bagging, boosting, and stacking.

    • Bagging involves training multiple models on different subsets of the data and combining their predictions through averaging or voting.

    • Boosting invol...

  • Q3. Types of ensemble techniques?
  • Ans. 

    Ensemble techniques combine multiple models to improve prediction accuracy.

    • Bagging: Bootstrap Aggregating

    • Boosting: AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting

    • Stacking: Meta-model combines predictions of base models

    • Voting: Combining predictions of multiple models by majority voting

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Explain bagging
  • Ans. 

    Bagging is a technique used in machine learning to improve the stability and accuracy of a model by combining multiple models.

    • Bagging stands for Bootstrap Aggregating.

    • It involves creating multiple subsets of the original dataset by randomly sampling with replacement.

    • Each subset is used to train a separate model, and the final prediction is the average of all the predictions made by each model.

    • Bagging reduces overfittin...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Explain bosting?
  • Ans. 

    Boosting is an ensemble learning technique that combines multiple weak models to create a strong model.

    • Boosting iteratively trains weak models on different subsets of data

    • Each subsequent model focuses on the misclassified data points of the previous model

    • Final prediction is made by weighted combination of all models

    • Examples include AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. Difference between bias and variance
  • Ans. 

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

    • Bias is the difference between the expected prediction of the model and the correct value that we are trying to predict.

    • Variance is the variability of model prediction for a given data point or a value which tells us spread of our data.

    • High bias can cause an algorithm to m...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q7. Classification techniques?
  • Ans. 

    Classification techniques are used to categorize data into different classes or groups based on certain features or attributes.

    • Common classification techniques include decision trees, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors, and support vector machines.

    • Classification can be binary (two classes) or multi-class (more than two classes).

    • Evaluation metrics for classification include accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scor...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q8. Explain about random forest
  • Ans. 

    Random forest is an ensemble learning method for classification, regression and other tasks.

    • Random forest builds multiple decision trees and combines their predictions to improve accuracy.

    • It uses bagging technique to create multiple subsets of data and features for each tree.

    • Random forest reduces overfitting and is robust to outliers and missing values.

    • It can handle high-dimensional data and is easy to interpret featur...
