  • Q1. Difference between bagging and boosting
  • Ans. 

    Bagging and boosting are ensemble learning techniques used to improve the performance of machine learning models by combining multiple weak learners.

    • Bagging (Bootstrap Aggregating) involves training multiple models independently on different subsets of the training data and then combining their predictions through averaging or voting.

    • Boosting involves training multiple models sequentially, where each subsequent model c...

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I was pretty much sure that I would pass L1 round and hoping for L2 round. I was interviewing for Generative AI Engineer. It was full 1 hr. The interviewer was less experienced than me. He asked me about my current work and focused more on previous work. I gave 80% correct answers and still did not make it. Don't know what they were expecting from me. Then I thought, maybe they are just taking the interview for the name sake. Sometimes, rejections are baseless.

  • Q1. What is difference between bias and variance
  • Ans. 

    Bias is error due to overly simplistic assumptions, variance is error due to overly complex models.

    • Bias is the error introduced by approximating a real-world problem, leading to underfitting.

    • Variance is the error introduced by modeling the noise in the training data, leading to overfitting.

    • High bias can cause a model to miss relevant relationships between features and target variable.

    • High variance can cause a model to ...
