Q2. What is the context window in LLMs
Ans. 
Context window in LLMs refers to the number of surrounding words considered when predicting the next word in a sequence.
• Context window helps LLMs capture dependencies between words in a sentence.

• A larger context window allows the model to consider more context but may lead to increased computational complexity.

• For example, in a context window of 2, the model considers 2 words before and 2 words after the target word fo

Q3. What is top_k parameter
Ans. 
top_k parameter is used to specify the number of top elements to be returned in a result set.
• top_k parameter is commonly used in machine learning algorithms to limit the number of predictions or recommendations.

• For example, in recommendation systems, setting top_k=5 will return the top 5 recommended items for a user.

• In natural language processing tasks, top_k can be used to limit the number of possible next words in a

Q4. What are regex patterns in python
Ans. 
Regex patterns in Python are sequences of characters that define a search pattern.
• Regex patterns are used for pattern matching and searching in strings.

• They are created using the 're' module in Python.

• Examples of regex patterns include searching for email addresses, phone numbers, or specific words in a text.

Q5. What are iterators and tuples
Ans. 
Iterators are objects that allow iteration over a sequence of elements. Tuples are immutable sequences of elements.
• Iterators are used to loop through elements in a collection, like lists or dictionaries

• Tuples are similar to lists but are immutable, meaning their elements cannot be changed

• Example of iterator: for item in list: print(item)

• Example of tuple: my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)

Q1. Explain AIC and BIC
Ans. 
AIC and BIC are statistical measures used for model selection in the context of regression analysis.
• AIC (Akaike Information Criterion) is used to compare the goodness of fit of different models. It penalizes the model for the number of parameters used.

• BIC (Bayesian Information Criterion) is similar to AIC but penalizes more heavily for the number of parameters, making it more suitable for model selection when the focus...read more

Q1. What is stemming and lematization
Ans. 
Stemming and lemmatization are techniques used in natural language processing to reduce words to their base or root form.
• Stemming is a process of reducing words to their base form by removing suffixes.

• Lemmatization is a process of reducing words to their base form by considering the context and part of speech.

• Stemming is faster but may not always produce a valid word, while lemmatization is slower but produces valid wo...read more
