Q2. XgBoost algorithm has 10-20 features. How are the splits decided, on which feature are they going to be divided?
Ans. 
XgBoost algorithm uses a greedy approach to determine splits based on feature importance.
• XgBoost algorithm calculates the information gain for each feature to determine the best split.

• The feature with the highest information gain is chosen for the split.

• This process is repeated recursively for each node in the tree.

• Features can be split based on numerical values or categories.

• Example: If a feature like 'age' has the hi...read more

Q4. What is entropy, information gain?
Ans. 
Entropy is a measure of randomness or uncertainty in a dataset, while information gain is the reduction in entropy after splitting a dataset based on a feature.
• Entropy is used in decision tree algorithms to determine the best feature to split on.

• Information gain measures the effectiveness of a feature in classifying the data.

• Higher information gain indicates that a feature is more useful for splitting the data.

• Entropy ...read more

Q5. What is hypothesis testing?
Ans. 
Hypothesis testing is a statistical method used to make inferences about a population based on sample data.
• Hypothesis testing involves formulating a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis.

• The null hypothesis is assumed to be true until there is enough evidence to reject it.

• Statistical tests are used to determine the likelihood of observing the data if the null hypothesis is true.

• The p-value is used to determine ...read more

Q6. Explain precision and recall, when are they used in which scenario?
Ans. 
Precision and recall are metrics used in evaluating the performance of classification models.
• Precision measures the accuracy of positive predictions, while recall measures the ability of the model to find all positive instances.

• Precision = TP / (TP + FP)

• Recall = TP / (TP + FN)

• Precision is important when false positives are costly, while recall is important when false negatives are costly.

• For example, in a spam email de...read more

Q7. What is data imbalance?
Ans. 
Data imbalance refers to unequal distribution of classes in a dataset, where one class has significantly more samples than others.
• Data imbalance can lead to biased models that favor the majority class.

• It can result in poor performance for minority classes, as the model may struggle to accurately predict them.

• Techniques like oversampling, undersampling, and using different evaluation metrics can help address data imbala...read more

Q8. What is SMOTE? Do you have any experience working on Time Series? Code analysis of global variable?
Ans. 
SMOTE stands for Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique, used to balance imbalanced datasets by generating synthetic samples.
• SMOTE is commonly used in machine learning to address class imbalance by creating synthetic samples of the minority class.

• It works by generating new instances of the minority class by interpolating between existing instances.

• SMOTE is particularly useful in scenarios where the minority class i...read more

Q1. Cosine similarity
Ans. 
Cosine similarity measures the similarity between two non-zero vectors in an inner product space.
• Cosine similarity ranges from -1 to 1, with 1 indicating identical vectors and -1 indicating opposite vectors.

• It is commonly used in information retrieval, text mining, and recommendation systems.

• Formula: cos(theta) = (A . B) / (||A|| * ||B||)

• Example: Calculating similarity between two documents based on their word frequenc

Q2. What is difference between recall and precission
Ans. 
Recall is the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the all observations in actual class, while precision is the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total predicted positive observations.
• Recall is about the actual positive instances that were correctly identified by the model.

• Precision is about the predicted positive instances and how many of them were actually positive.

• Recall = Tr...read more

Q3. How to remove stop words and how it works
Ans. 
Stop words are common words like 'the', 'is', 'and' that are removed from text data to improve analysis.
• Stop words are commonly removed from text data to improve the accuracy of natural language processing tasks.

• They are typically removed before tokenization and can be done using libraries like NLTK or spaCy.

• Examples of stop words include 'the', 'is', 'and', 'in', 'on', etc.

Q1. Difference between supervised and unsupervised learning
Ans. 
Supervised learning uses labeled data to train a model, while unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data.
• Supervised learning requires a target variable for training the model.

• Examples of supervised learning include classification and regression.

• Unsupervised learning finds patterns and relationships in data without a target variable.

• Examples of unsupervised learning include clustering and dimensionality reduction.
