(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Explain ML algorithms
  • Ans. 

    ML algorithms are mathematical models used to identify patterns and make predictions from data.

    • ML algorithms can be supervised, unsupervised, or semi-supervised

    • Supervised algorithms include linear regression, decision trees, and neural networks

    • Unsupervised algorithms include k-means clustering and principal component analysis

    • Semi-supervised algorithms combine elements of both supervised and unsupervised learning

    • ML algo...

  • Q2. Explain SQL joins, explain join in a given situation
  • Ans. 

    SQL joins are used to combine data from two or more tables based on a related column.

    • Joins are used to retrieve data from multiple tables in a single query.

    • Common types of joins are inner join, left join, right join, and full outer join.

    • Joining tables can be done using the JOIN keyword and specifying the columns to join on.

    • Example: SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON table1.column = table2.column;

    • Joins can be used to c...

Round 4 - Technical 

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. Explain projects you have worked
  • Q2. The algorithm used in the project (in my case LSTM)
  • Ans. 

    The algorithm used in the project is LSTM.

    • LSTM stands for Long Short-Term Memory and is a type of recurrent neural network.

    • It is commonly used for sequential data analysis such as time series forecasting, speech recognition, and natural language processing.

    • LSTM networks have the ability to remember long-term dependencies and avoid the vanishing gradient problem.

    • They consist of memory cells, input gates, output gates, a...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Why LSTM? how does it work?
  • Ans. 

    LSTM is a type of recurrent neural network that can handle long-term dependencies.

    • LSTM stands for Long Short-Term Memory.

    • It uses gates to control the flow of information.

    • It can remember information for a longer period of time compared to traditional RNNs.

    • It is commonly used in natural language processing and speech recognition tasks.

    • LSTM has been shown to be effective in predicting stock prices and weather patterns.

(2 Questions)

  • 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 ...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Parametric vs non parametruc model
  • Ans. 

    Parametric models make strong assumptions about the form of the underlying data distribution, while non-parametric models do not.

    • Parametric models have a fixed number of parameters, while non-parametric models have a flexible number of parameters.

    • Parametric models are simpler and easier to interpret, while non-parametric models are more flexible and can capture complex patterns in data.

    • Examples of parametric models inc...
