Q2. What is Data Leakage?
Ans. 
Data leakage occurs when information from outside the training dataset is used to create a model, leading to unrealistic performance.
• Occurs when information that would not be available in a real-world scenario is used in the model training process

• Can result in overly optimistic performance metrics for the model

• Examples include using future data, target leakage, and data preprocessing errors

Q3. What is Encoder Decoder? What is a Transformer model and explain its architecture?
Ans. 
Encoder Decoder is a neural network architecture used for sequence-to-sequence tasks. Transformer model is a type of neural network architecture that relies entirely on self-attention mechanisms.
• Encoder Decoder is commonly used in machine translation tasks where the input sequence is encoded into a fixed-length vector representation by the encoder and then decoded into the target sequence by the decoder.

• Transformer mod...read more

Q4. Name some Deep learning models?
Ans. 
Deep learning models include CNN, RNN, LSTM, GAN, and Transformer.
• Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) - used for image recognition tasks

• Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) - used for sequential data like time series

• Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) - a type of RNN with memory cells

• Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) - used for generating new data samples

• Transformer - used for natural language processing tasks

Q5. What is Regularization in machine learning?
Ans. 
Regularization is a technique used in machine learning to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the model's loss function.
• Regularization helps to reduce the complexity of the model by penalizing large coefficients.

• It adds a penalty term to the loss function, which discourages the model from fitting the training data too closely.

• Common types of regularization include L1 (Lasso) and L2 (Ridge) regularization.

Q6. What is Model Quantization?
Ans. 
Model quantization is the process of reducing the precision of the weights and activations of a neural network model to improve efficiency.
• Reduces memory usage and speeds up inference by using fewer bits to represent numbers

• Can be applied to both weights and activations in a neural network model

• Examples include converting 32-bit floating point numbers to 8-bit integers
