Q1. What is rnn and lstm
Ans. 
RNN stands for Recurrent Neural Network and LSTM stands for Long Short-Term Memory. They are types of neural networks used for sequential data processing.
• RNN is a type of neural network that can process sequential data by maintaining a memory of past inputs.

• LSTM is a type of RNN that can handle the vanishing gradient problem and can remember long-term dependencies.

• LSTM has gates that control the flow of information int...read more

Q2. What is precision and recall
Ans. 
Precision and recall are two important metrics used to evaluate the performance of a classification model.
• Precision measures the proportion of true positives among all the predicted positives.

• Recall measures the proportion of true positives among all the actual positives.

• Precision and recall are inversely related and a trade-off exists between them.

• A high precision means that the model is good at predicting positive ca...read more

Q3. What is regularisation
Ans. 
Regularisation is a technique used in machine learning to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the loss function.
• Regularisation helps to control the complexity of a model and reduce the impact of irrelevant features.

• It adds a penalty term to the loss function, which encourages the model to have smaller weights.

• There are different types of regularisation techniques such as L1 (Lasso) and L2 (Ridge) regularisa...read more
