1. What is the Impact of Outliers on Logistic Regression?

The estimates of the Logistic Regression are sensitive to unusual observations such as outliers, high leverage, and influential observations. Therefore, to solve the problem of outliers, a sigmoid function is used in Logistic Regression.


2. What is the difference between vanilla RNNs and LSTMs?


The main difference between vanilla RNNs and LSTMs is that LSTMs are able to better remember long-term dependencies, while vanilla RNNs tend to forget them. This is due to the fact that LSTMs have a special type of memory cell that can retain information for longer periods of time, while vanilla RNNs only have a single layer of memory cells.

3. What is Masked Language Model in NLP?


Masked language models help learners to understand deep representations in downstream tasks by taking an output from the corrupt input. This model is often used to predict the words to be used in a sentence.


4. Why is the KNN Algorithm known as Lazy Learner?

When the KNN algorithm gets the training data, it does not learn and make a model, it just stores the data. Instead of finding any discriminative function with the help of the training data, it follows instance-based learning and also uses the training data when it actually needs to do some prediction on the unseen datasets. As a result, KNN does not immediately learn a model rather delays the learning thereby being referred to as Lazy Learner.
