Question 1

What is transfer learning in the context of computer vision?

Accepted Answer

Using a pre-trained model's weights as a starting point for a new task

Answer

Transfer learning reuses the feature representations learned from a large dataset (e.g., ImageNet) to improve performance on a smaller target task.

Question 2

Which technique is used to augment training images by randomly flipping, rotating, or cropping them?

Accepted Answer

Data augmentation

Answer

Data augmentation artificially expands the training set with label-preserving transformations, reducing overfitting in vision models.

Question 3

In NLP, what is tokenization?

Accepted Answer

Splitting raw text into individual units such as words or subwords

Answer

Tokenization breaks raw text into discrete units (tokens) such as words, subwords, or characters that a model can process.

Question 4

What is the attention mechanism in transformer models primarily designed to do?

Accepted Answer

Allow the model to weigh the relevance of different input tokens when producing each output

Answer

Attention computes a weighted sum of value vectors, where weights reflect how relevant each input token is to the current output position.

Question 5

Which metric is commonly used to evaluate object detection models by measuring overlap between predicted and ground-truth bounding boxes?

Accepted Answer

Intersection over Union (IoU)

Answer

IoU divides the area of overlap between the predicted and actual bounding boxes by their combined union area, ranging from 0 to 1.
