Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. LSTM RNN and simple RNN difference
  • Ans. 

    LSTM RNN is a type of RNN that can learn long-term dependencies, while simple RNN struggles with vanishing/exploding gradients.

    • LSTM RNN has more complex architecture with memory cells, input, forget, and output gates.

    • Simple RNN has a single tanh activation function and suffers from vanishing/exploding gradients.

    • LSTM RNN is better at capturing long-term dependencies in sequences.

    • Simple RNN is simpler but struggles with

  • Q2. What is lasso regression
  • Ans. 

    Lasso regression is a type of linear regression that uses L1 regularization to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the loss function.

    • Lasso regression helps in feature selection by shrinking the coefficients of less important features to zero.

    • It is particularly useful when dealing with high-dimensional data where the number of features is much larger than the number of samples.

    • The regularization parameter in...

Round 2 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. How to fine tune a llm model
  • Ans. 

    Fine tuning a LLM model involves adjusting hyperparameters to improve performance.

    • Perform grid search or random search to find optimal hyperparameters

    • Use cross-validation to evaluate different hyperparameter combinations

    • Regularize the model to prevent overfitting

    • Adjust learning rate and batch size for better convergence

    • Consider using techniques like early stopping to prevent overfitting

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. 1) Formula for Precision and recall
  • Ans. 

    Precision = TP / (TP + FP), Recall = TP / (TP + FN)

    • Precision is the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total predicted positive observations

    • Recall is the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the all observations in actual class

    • Example: If a model predicts 100 positive cases, out of which 80 are actually positive, precision = 80/100, recall = 80/total actual positive cases

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. 2) Difference between R2 and adjusted R2
  • Ans. 

    R2 measures the proportion of variance explained by the model, while adjusted R2 adjusts for the number of predictors in the model.

    • R2 is the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variables.

    • Adjusted R2 penalizes the addition of unnecessary predictors in the model, providing a more accurate measure of the model's goodness of fit.

    • R2 can increase even when adding irreleva...
