✍️ Sample Machine Learning Questions & Answers

1. What does the Actor-Critic method combine in reinforcement learning?
✓ A policy network (actor) that selects actions combined with a value network (critic) that evaluates them

Actor-Critic methods combine an actor (policy network) that selects actions with a critic (value network) that evaluates those actions, reducing variance compared to pure policy gradient methods.

2. Which of the following best describes 'stratified k-fold cross-validation'?
✓ Each fold preserves the same class distribution as the full dataset

Stratified k-fold ensures each fold has roughly the same proportion of class labels as the original dataset, important for imbalanced data.

3. What is the primary consideration when implementing changes to neural networks?
✓ Impact assessment and change management

Impact assessment and proper change management ensure that modifications do not introduce unexpected problems or service disruptions.

4. Which of the following is an example of a regression problem in supervised learning?
✓ Predicting the selling price of a house based on its features

Predicting house prices produces a continuous numeric output, making it a regression problem rather than a classification problem.

5. In a confusion matrix, what does a False Negative represent?
✓ Model predicted negative but the true label was positive

A False Negative occurs when the model predicts the negative class but the true label is actually positive, meaning a positive case was missed.

6. What is the fundamental principle behind feature engineering in the Machine Learning domain?
✓ Balancing performance, reliability, and efficiency

Effective technical design requires balancing performance requirements with reliability needs and operational efficiency.
