Q5. What is GAN.Have you worked with it.
Ans. 
GAN stands for Generative Adversarial Network, a type of neural network used for generating new data.
• Consists of two neural networks - generator and discriminator

• Generator creates new data samples while discriminator tries to distinguish between real and generated data

• Used in image generation, text generation, and other creative applications

Q4. What is Cost function.
Ans. 
Cost function is a mathematical function that measures the error between predicted values and actual values in a machine learning model.
• Cost function helps in optimizing the parameters of a model to minimize the error.

• Common cost functions include Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Cross Entropy Loss.

• It is used in training machine learning models through techniques like gradient descent.

• The goal is to find the parameters tha

Q5. What is entropy.
Ans. 
Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
• Entropy is used in information theory to quantify the amount of uncertainty involved in predicting the value of a random variable.

• It is often used in machine learning to measure the impurity or disorder in a dataset.

• In thermodynamics, entropy is a measure of the amount of energy in a physical system that is not available to do work.

Q6. What is ginni coefficient.
Ans. 
Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income or wealth distribution of a nation's residents.
• Gini coefficient ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 represents perfect equality and 1 represents perfect inequality.

• A Gini coefficient of 0.4 is considered moderate inequality, while 0.6 or higher is considered high inequality.

• It is commonly used in economics to measure income inequality with...read more

Q7. What will happen if linear regression is used for classification
Ans. 
Using linear regression for classification can lead to inaccurate predictions and unreliable results.
• Linear regression assumes a continuous output, making it unsuitable for discrete classification tasks.

• It may not handle outliers well, leading to incorrect classification boundaries.

• The predicted values may fall outside the 0-1 range for binary classification.

• Logistic regression is a more appropriate choice for classifi
