Foundational
Overfitting and RegularizationOverfitting is when a model learns the training data's noise instead of its signal, scoring well in training but failing on new data. You prevent it with more data, regularization (L1/L2, dropout, early stopping), simpler models, and data augmentation, and you detect it with a proper held-out validation set. The deeper trap is data leakage, which produces fake great offline numbers that collapse in production. Applied-AI interviews probe it because shipping an overfit or leaky model is one of the most common, expensive ML mistakes.📊 Evaluation & ML Foundations
Core
Training Neural Nets: Init, Normalization, Dropout, LR SchedulesThe practical recipe that makes deep nets train at all: scale-aware weight initialization (Xavier, He), normalization layers (batch, layer, RMS) that keep activations well-conditioned, dropout as stochastic regularization, and warmup plus cosine learning-rate schedules. Applied AI interviews probe this because picking the wrong init or norm is a common reason training diverges or plateaus, and knowing why each helps separates people who have trained models from people who have only called .fit().📊 Evaluation & ML FoundationsSign in
