TuringMinds Data Scientist Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. Machine learning algorithms.
Ans. 
Machine learning algorithms are tools used to analyze data, identify patterns, and make predictions without being explicitly programmed.
• Machine learning algorithms can be categorized into supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning.

• Examples of machine learning algorithms include linear regression, decision trees, support vector machines, and neural networks.

• These algorithms require training data to learn patte...read more

Q1. Steps of developing a credit risk model
Ans. 
Developing a credit risk model involves several steps to assess the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on a loan.
• 1. Define the problem and objectives of the credit risk model.

• 2. Gather relevant data such as credit history, income, debt-to-income ratio, etc.

• 3. Preprocess the data by handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and scaling features.

• 4. Select a suitable machine learning algorithm such as logi...read more

Q1. Explain AIC and BIC
Ans. 
AIC and BIC are statistical measures used for model selection in the context of regression analysis.
• AIC (Akaike Information Criterion) is used to compare the goodness of fit of different models. It penalizes the model for the number of parameters used.

• BIC (Bayesian Information Criterion) is similar to AIC but penalizes more heavily for the number of parameters, making it more suitable for model selection when the focus...read more

Q2. Difference between xgboost and lightgbm
Ans. 
XGBoost is a popular gradient boosting library while LightGBM is a faster and more memory-efficient alternative.
• XGBoost is known for its accuracy and performance on structured/tabular data.

• LightGBM is faster and more memory-efficient, making it suitable for large datasets.

• LightGBM uses a histogram-based algorithm for splitting whereas XGBoost uses a level-wise tree growth strategy.

Q1. Number of Duplicate words in a string
Ans. 
Count the number of duplicate words in a string.
• Split the string into words using a delimiter like space or punctuation.

• Create a dictionary to store the count of each word.

• Iterate through the words and increment the count in the dictionary.

• Count the number of words with count greater than 1 as duplicates.

Q2. Chunking in LLM
Ans. 
Chunking in LLM refers to breaking down text into smaller chunks for better processing by the language model.
• Chunking helps improve the efficiency of the language model by breaking down large text inputs into smaller segments.

• It can help the model better understand the context and relationships within the text.

• Chunking is commonly used in natural language processing tasks such as text summarization and sentiment analys
