I applied via LinkedIn and was interviewed in Mar 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - Technical 

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. What is bias and variance how regularization helps in reducing overfitting
  • Ans. 

    Bias is error due to overly simplistic assumptions, variance is error due to sensitivity to fluctuations. Regularization helps by penalizing complex models.

    • Bias is error from erroneous assumptions in the learning algorithm. Variance is error from sensitivity to fluctuations in the training set.

    • High bias can cause underfitting, where the model is too simple to capture the underlying structure. High variance can cause ov...

  • Q2. Random Forest XGBoost pros and cons, hyperparameters. Data imputation methods
  • Q3. Difference between RNN and LSTM, advantage and limitations.
  • Ans. 

    RNN is a type of neural network that processes sequential data, while LSTM is a type of RNN that addresses vanishing gradient problem.

    • RNN is a type of neural network that can process sequential data by maintaining a hidden state.

    • LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) is a type of RNN that addresses the vanishing gradient problem by introducing memory cells and gates.

    • LSTM is capable of learning long-term dependencies in data, ma...

I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Aug 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Bias and variance with respect to model
  • Ans. 

    Bias and variance are two types of errors that can occur in a model.

    • Bias refers to the error introduced by approximating a real-world problem, leading to underfitting.

    • Variance refers to the error introduced by modeling the noise in the training data, leading to overfitting.

    • Balancing bias and variance is crucial for creating a model that generalizes well to unseen data.
