Round 2 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What is the difference between sigmoid and softmax activation function?
  • Ans. 

    Sigmoid is used for binary classification while softmax is used for multi-class classification.

    • Sigmoid function outputs values between 0 and 1, suitable for binary classification tasks.

    • Softmax function outputs a probability distribution over multiple classes, summing up to 1.

    • Sigmoid is used in the output layer for binary classification, while softmax is used for multi-class classification.

    • Softmax is the generalization

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What is an activation function ?
  • Ans. 

    An activation function is a mathematical function that determines the output of a neural network.

    • Activation functions introduce non-linearity to the neural network, allowing it to learn complex patterns in the data.

    • Common activation functions include sigmoid, tanh, ReLU, and softmax.

    • The choice of activation function can impact the performance and training speed of the neural network.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Pathetic experience. HR Recruiter will constantly call you every day (multiple times per day) to set up the interview almost to the point of harassment, but when the interview rounds are done, there is zero communication from the entire team.

    • Word2vec is a shallow neural network model that learns to represent words as vectors in a continuous vector space.

    • It captures semantic relationships between words by placing similar words close together in the vector space.

    • There are two main architectures for Word2vec: Continuous Bag of Words (CBOW) and Skip-gr...

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. How do you define model Gini?
  • Ans. 

    Model Gini is a measure of statistical dispersion used to evaluate the performance of classification models.

    • Model Gini is calculated as twice the area between the ROC curve and the diagonal line (random model).

    • It ranges from 0 (worst model) to 1 (best model), with higher values indicating better model performance.

    • A Gini coefficient of 0.5 indicates a model that is no better than random guessing.

    • Commonly used in credit

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. How to you train XG boost model
  • Ans. 

    XGBoost model is trained by specifying parameters, splitting data into training and validation sets, fitting the model, and tuning hyperparameters.

    • Specify parameters for XGBoost model such as learning rate, max depth, and number of trees

    • Split data into training and validation sets using train_test_split function

    • Fit the XGBoost model on training data using fit method

    • Tune hyperparameters using techniques like grid search

  • Q1. What is cross validation ?
  • Ans. 

    Cross validation is a technique used to assess the performance of a predictive model by splitting the data into training and testing sets multiple times.

    • Cross validation helps to evaluate how well a model generalizes to new data.

    • It involves splitting the data into k subsets, training the model on k-1 subsets, and testing it on the remaining subset.

    • Common types of cross validation include k-fold cross validation and lea...
