This article discusses a couple of machine learning (ML) interview questions asked frequently in data science related job roles. When should we prefer ridge regression over lasso? Explain with reason Ridge regression is a regression in which we use L2 regularization to give a penalty to the loss function to reduce loss in the optimization …
There are many free bioinformatics databases available, which offer a wealth of biological data and information. Some of the popular ones are discussed below. NCBI National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) provides access to various biological databases, such as GenBank, PubMed, Protein, and Nucleotide. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is a public database …
Introduction Hyperparameters are the parameters that are explicitly defined by the user for the machine learning model. This helps the learning process of the machine learning algorithm. The prefix “hyper” in hyperparameter means top-level, indicating these are the controlling parameters to ensure model performance. The user selects the value of the hyperparameter before the training …
This blog is part 5 of machine learning interview questions and answers series. Previous blog article and be found here. What is the need of cross validation in machine learning modeling? Cross validation is used to better utilize the input data to ensure the model performance. The input data will be divided into many subsets …
In this article I will show you how to create common python plots using Python programming language and dummy data. People from Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (STEM) fields often have to deal with scientific charts and graphs. They might use it to communicate their findings as well as learn the latest findings from their …
Technical definition Bias is a systematic error that happens during the machine learning model due to the incorrect assumptions taken during the training process of the machine learning model. Narration Imagine you pick up a group of cats and measure the height and weight of them. You are asked to find the height of another …
An artist is someone who does things in a creative way. Anyone who pursues their passions in a unique way or chooses to travel on difficult paths to reach the undiscovered beautiful destinations of their life are having the aesthetic sense of an artist in themselves. In actual practice, there is nothing original or unique. …
This is one among the series of frequently asked interview questions in machine learning. Concepts are demonstrated with schematics wherever necessary Differentiate between local optimization and global optimization Optimization is a process of assigning a set of inputs to an objective function that can extract the best possible output from the objective function. Local optimization …
