Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Explain Feature selection Techniques
  • Ans. 

    Feature selection techniques are methods used to select the most relevant features for a predictive model.

    • Filter methods: Select features based on statistical measures like correlation, chi-squared, or mutual information.

    • Wrapper methods: Use a specific model to evaluate the importance of features by training and testing subsets of features.

    • Embedded methods: Features are selected as part of the model training process, l...

  • Q2. Difference between Covariance and Correlation
  • Ans. 

    Covariance measures the relationship between two variables, while correlation measures the strength and direction of a relationship.

    • Covariance can be positive, negative, or zero, indicating the direction of the relationship.

    • Correlation is always between -1 and 1, with 1 indicating a perfect positive relationship, -1 indicating a perfect negative relationship, and 0 indicating no relationship.

    • Covariance is affected by t...

  • Q2. Why we use bias in neural networks? Why do we scale our data in neural networks?
  • Ans. 

    Bias in neural networks helps in capturing the underlying patterns in data. Scaling data helps in improving convergence and performance.

    • Bias in neural networks helps in shifting the activation function to better fit the data.

    • It allows the model to capture the underlying patterns in the data by providing flexibility in the decision boundary.

    • Scaling data helps in improving convergence by ensuring that the gradients are o...
