3 question were asked in 90 min time

Q1. What is precison ?
Ans. 
Precision is the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total predicted positive observations.
• Precision is calculated as TP / (TP + FP), where TP is true positives and FP is false positives.

• It measures the accuracy of positive predictions made by the model.

• A high precision indicates that the model is good at predicting positive cases without many false positives.

• For example, in a binary classificatio...read more

Q2. What is large lang. model ?
Ans. 
A large language model is a type of artificial intelligence model that is capable of understanding and generating human language at a large scale.
• Large language models use deep learning techniques to process and generate text.

• Examples include GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) and BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers).

Q2. What is the difference between Adam optimizer and Gradient Descent Optimizer?
Ans. 
Adam optimizer is an extension to the Gradient Descent optimizer with adaptive learning rates and momentum.
• Adam optimizer combines the benefits of both AdaGrad and RMSProp optimizers.

• Adam optimizer uses adaptive learning rates for each parameter.

• Gradient Descent optimizer has a fixed learning rate for all parameters.

• Adam optimizer includes momentum to speed up convergence.

• Gradient Descent optimizer updates parameters b...read more

Q3. When to use Relu and when not?
Ans. 
Use ReLU for hidden layers in deep neural networks, avoid for output layers.
• ReLU is commonly used in hidden layers to introduce non-linearity and speed up convergence.

• Avoid using ReLU in output layers for regression tasks as it can lead to vanishing gradients.

• Consider using Leaky ReLU or Sigmoid for output layers depending on the task.

• ReLU is computationally efficient and helps in preventing the vanishing gradient prob...read more

Q2. What is attention in term of data science?
Ans. 
Attention in data science refers to the mechanism that allows models to focus on specific parts of the input data.
• Attention mechanisms help models to weigh the importance of different input features.

• They are commonly used in natural language processing tasks such as machine translation and text summarization.

• Attention can improve the performance of models by allowing them to selectively focus on relevant information.

• Ex...read more

Q1. How would you judge the efficiency of LLMs
Ans. 
Efficiency of LLMs can be judged based on various factors such as accuracy, speed, resource consumption, and interpretability.
• Evaluate accuracy by comparing LLM predictions with ground truth labels

• Assess speed by measuring the time taken for LLM to process data

• Analyze resource consumption in terms of memory and computational power usage

• Consider interpretability by examining how easily LLM decisions can be understood

• Use...read more
