JPMorgan Chase & Co. Data Scientist Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. What is Bert and transformer
Ans. 
Bert and transformer are models used in natural language processing for tasks like text classification and language generation.
• Bert (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) is a transformer-based model developed by Google for NLP tasks.

• Transformer is a deep learning model architecture that uses self-attention mechanisms to process sequential data like text.

• Both Bert and transformer have been widely use...read more

Q2. NLP pre processing techniques
Ans. 
NLP pre processing techniques involve cleaning and preparing text data for analysis.
• Tokenization: breaking text into words or sentences

• Stopword removal: removing common words that do not add meaning

• Lemmatization: reducing words to their base form

• Normalization: converting text to lowercase

• Removing special characters and punctuation

Q1. What is Gradient Descents?
Ans. 
Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm used to minimize a function by iteratively moving in the direction of steepest descent.
• Gradient descent is used to find the minimum of a function by taking steps proportional to the negative of the gradient at the current point.

• It is commonly used in machine learning to optimize the parameters of a model by minimizing the loss function.

• There are different variants of gradie...read more

Q2. What is LSTM?, and what are the gates in it?
Ans. 
LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) is a type of recurrent neural network designed to handle long-term dependencies.
• LSTM has three gates: input gate, forget gate, and output gate.

• Input gate controls the flow of information into the cell state.

• Forget gate decides what information to discard from the cell state.

• Output gate determines the output based on the cell state.

Q4. What is t-test? What is Mean, Median and Mode and where to use these?
Ans. 
T-test is a statistical test used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of two groups.
• Mean is the average of a set of numbers, median is the middle value when the numbers are ordered, and mode is the most frequently occurring value.

• Mean is sensitive to outliers, median is robust to outliers, and mode is useful for categorical data.

• T-test is used to compare means of two groups, mean is used...read more

Q5. What is RANDOM FOREST ?
Ans. 
Random Forest is an ensemble learning method used for classification and regression tasks.
• Random Forest is a collection of decision trees that are trained on random subsets of the data.

• Each tree in the forest makes a prediction, and the final prediction is the average (regression) or majority vote (classification) of all trees.

• Random Forest helps reduce overfitting and improve accuracy compared to a single decision tre...read more

Q2. Machine Learning- 2 dependant and 6 independent variables are available, which algorithm we should use?
Ans. 
Use a regression algorithm like linear regression or decision tree regression.
• Consider using linear regression if the relationship between variables is linear.

• Decision tree regression can handle non-linear relationships between variables.

• Evaluate the performance of different algorithms using cross-validation.

• Consider the interpretability of the model when choosing an algorithm.
