    "Over-fitting of a model occurs when model fails to generalize to any new data and has high variance withing training data whereas in under fitting model isn't able to uncover the underlying pattern in the training data and high bias. Tree based model like decision tree and random forest are likely to overfit whereas linear models like linear regression and logistic regression tends to under fit. There are many reasons why a Random forest can overfits easily 1. Model has grown to its full depth a"

    "Hey Grandma, you've had a lot of experience with infants, haven't you? When they were babies, you taught them how to chew in their first six months. This initial phase is like giving them data. Once they learned how to chew, they could handle any food you gave them. Next, you refined their learning by teaching them that they should only chew on food. This is like refining the data so they understand what is relevant. Then, a few months later, they started crawling and walking, learning by observ"

    "Clarifying When we say cloud gaming, we refer to a video gaming experience using cloud computing, right? Assumption: Yes. Understanding of cloud computing first. I'll use some analogies: Imagine you are looking to do heavy computing but don't have a powerful CPU and GPU. CPU and GPU are like your big calculators. You can buy a powerful CPU and GPU, but problems: It costs a lot to buy. It costs a lot to run. You don't need it 24-7. You are not a un"

    "In Java, GC is the process of automatically identifying and reclaming memory occupied by objects that are no longer reachable.. the process involves the 3 steps Mark phase -- identify the objects that are still in use. i.e reachable sweep Phase -- removes the unreachable objects compact phase -- rearragnes objects to prevent fragmentation 4 types of Garbage collection Serial GC -- single threaded simple and compacting -- best for small applications Parrallel GC -- throughput GC"

    "Of course. Reinforcement Learning is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by trying out different actions and receiving rewards or penalties in return. The goal is to learn, over time, which actions yield the highest rewards. There are three core components in RL: The agent — the learner or decision-maker (e.g., an algorithm or robot), The environment — everything the agent interacts with, Actions and rewards — the agent takes actions, and the"

    Video answer for 'What are common linear regression problems?'

    "I can try to summarize their discussion as I remembered. Linear regression is one of the method to predict target (Y) using features (X). Formula for linear regression is a linear function of features. The aim is to choose coefficients (Teta) of the prediction function in such a way that the difference between target and prediction is least in average. This difference between target and prediction is called loss function. The form of this loss function could be dependent from the particular real"

    "Grandma! You know how we can look at a picture and know what's in it—like seeing a cat or a dog? Computers can learn to do that too! It's just they use special tricks and math to see and understand pictures or videos. It helps them figure out what's in the pictures, almost like how we do! Almost like giving it eyes to see the world in its own way!"

    "Deep Learning is a part of Artificial Intelligence, it's like teaching the machine to think and make decisions on its own. It's like how we teach a child the concept of an apple - it's round, red, has a stem on top. We show them multiple pictures of apples and then they understand and can recognize an apple in future. Similarly, we feed lots of data to the machine, and slowly, it starts learning from that data, and can then make relevant predictions or decisions based on what it has learnt. A co"
