Skills for Data Scientists 👆

Company Name: Accenture
Role: Data Scientist
Topic: Silhouette, trend seasonality, bag of words, bagging boosting , F1 Score

1. What do you understand by the term silhouette coefficient?

The silhouette coefficient is a measure of how well clustered together a data point is with respect to the other points in its cluster. It is a measure of how similar a point is to the points in its own cluster, and how dissimilar it is to the points in other clusters. The silhouette coefficient ranges from -1 to 1, with 1 being the best possible score and -1 being the worst possible score.


2. What is the difference between trend and seasonality in time series?

Trends and seasonality are two characteristics of time series metrics that break many models. Trends are continuous increases or decreases in a metric’s value. Seasonality, on the other hand, reflects periodic (cyclical) patterns that occur in a system, usually rising above a baseline and then decreasing again.


3. What is Bag of Words in NLP?

Bag of Words is a commonly used model that depends on word frequencies or occurrences to train a classifier. This model creates an occurrence matrix for documents or sentences irrespective of its grammatical structure or word order.


4. What is the difference between bagging and boosting?

Bagging is a homogeneous weak learners’ model that learns from each other independently in parallel and combines them for determining the model average. Boosting is also a homogeneous weak learners’ model but works differently from Bagging. In this model, learners learn sequentially and adaptively to improve model predictions of a learning algorithm

5. What do you understand by the F1 score?

The F1 score represents the measurement of a model's performance. It is referred to as a weighted average of the precision and recall of a model. The results tending to 1 are considered as the best, and those tending to 0 are the worst. It could be used in classification tests, where true negatives don't matter much.

You know what DOESN'T matter?

How you got started in data.

Maybe you focused on a single tool.
Maybe you learned Python before SQL.
Maybe you thought you needed to know R.
Maybe you only know Excel and that's all you need.
Maybe you tried Power BI before deciding on Tableau.

It doesn't matter how you get started - it matters how you continue.

Do you...

- provide insights that drive business decisions?
- help stakeholders meet goals and objectives?
- analyze data to add value to your organization?
- ask questions and use them to guide analysis?
- effectively explain what your analysis means?

How you get started in data has much less importance than what you do once you're in.

Three different learning styles in machine learning algorithms:

1. Supervised Learning

Input data is called training data and has a known label or result such as spam/not-spam or a stock price at a time.

A model is prepared through a training process in which it is required to make predictions and is corrected when those predictions are wrong. The training process continues until the model achieves a desired level of accuracy on the training data.

Example problems are classification and regression.

Example algorithms include: Logistic Regression and the Back Propagation Neural Network.

2. Unsupervised Learning

Input data is not labeled and does not have a known result.

A model is prepared by deducing structures present in the input data. This may be to extract general rules. It may be through a mathematical process to systematically reduce redundancy, or it may be to organize data by similarity.

Example problems are clustering, dimensionality reduction and association rule learning.

Example algorithms include: the Apriori algorithm and K-Means.

3. Semi-Supervised Learning

Input data is a mixture of labeled and unlabelled examples.

There is a desired prediction problem but the model must learn the structures to organize the data as well as make predictions.

Example problems are classification and regression.

Example algorithms are extensions to other flexible methods that make assumptions about how to model the unlabeled data.

10 commonly asked data science interview questions along with their answers

1️⃣ What is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning?
Supervised learning involves learning from labeled data to predict outcomes while unsupervised learning involves finding patterns in unlabeled data.

2️⃣ Explain the bias-variance tradeoff in machine learning.
The bias-variance tradeoff is a key concept in machine learning. Models with high bias have low complexity and over-simplify, while models with high variance are more complex and over-fit to the training data. The goal is to find the right balance between bias and variance.

3️⃣ What is the Central Limit Theorem and why is it important in statistics?
The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) states that the sampling distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed regardless of the underlying population distribution, as long as the sample size is sufficiently large. It is important because it justifies the use of statistics, such as hypothesis testing and confidence intervals, on small sample sizes.

4️⃣ Describe the process of feature selection and why it is important in machine learning.
Feature selection is the process of selecting the most relevant features (variables) from a dataset. This is important because unnecessary features can lead to over-fitting, slower training times, and reduced accuracy.

5️⃣ What is the difference between overfitting and underfitting in machine learning? How do you address them?
Overfitting occurs when a model is too complex and fits the training data too well, resulting in poor performance on unseen data. Underfitting occurs when a model is too simple and cannot fit the training data well enough, resulting in poor performance on both training and unseen data. Techniques to address overfitting include regularization and early stopping, while techniques to address underfitting include using more complex models or increasing the amount of input data.

6️⃣ What is regularization and why is it used in machine learning?
Regularization is a technique used to prevent overfitting in machine learning. It involves adding a penalty term to the loss function to limit the complexity of the model, effectively reducing the impact of certain features.

7️⃣ How do you handle missing data in a dataset?
Handling missing data can be done by either deleting the missing samples, imputing the missing values, or using models that can handle missing data directly.

8️⃣ What is the difference between classification and regression in machine learning?
Classification is a type of supervised learning where the goal is to predict a categorical or discrete outcome, while regression is a type of supervised learning where the goal is to predict a continuous or numerical outcome.

9️⃣ Explain the concept of cross-validation and why it is used.
Cross-validation is a technique used to evaluate the performance of a machine learning model. It involves spliting the data into training and validation sets, and then training and evaluating the model on multiple such splits. Cross-validation gives a better idea of the model's generalization ability and helps prevent over-fitting.

🔟 What evaluation metrics would you use to evaluate a binary classification model?
Some commonly used evaluation metrics for binary classification models are accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC-AUC. The choice of metric depends on the specific requirements of the problem.

Data Science Interview Questions with Answers

What’s the difference between random forest and gradient boosting?

Random Forests builds each tree independently while Gradient Boosting builds one tree at a time.
Random Forests combine results at the end of the process (by averaging or "majority rules") while Gradient Boosting combines results along the way.

What happens to our linear regression model if we have three columns in our data: x, y, z  —  and z is a sum of x and y?

We would not be able to perform the regression. Because z is linearly dependent on x and y so when performing the regression  would be a singular (not invertible) matrix.

Which regularization techniques do you know?

There are mainly two types of regularization,

L1 Regularization (Lasso regularization) - Adds the sum of absolute values of the coefficients to the cost function.
L2 Regularization (Ridge regularization) - Adds the sum of squares of coefficients to the cost function

Here, Lambda determines the amount of regularization.

How does L2 regularization look like in a linear model?

L2 regularization adds a penalty term to our cost function which is equal to the sum of squares of models coefficients multiplied by a lambda hyperparameter.

This technique makes sure that the coefficients are close to zero and is widely used in cases when we have a lot of features that might correlate with each other.

What are the main parameters in the gradient boosting model?

There are many parameters, but below are a few key defaults.

learning_rate=0.1 (shrinkage).
n_estimators=100 (number of trees).
max_depth=3.
min_samples_split=2.
min_samples_leaf=1.
subsample=1.0.
