Style guide and expectations: Please answer all the question.We expect you to cite all
sources you used outside of the course material.
Deadlines: From May 08 to Before your viva.

1 Long Question:: Answer any 1

(5 pt.) As a data scientist at eSewa, list potential use cases where unsupervised learning can
be applied in the company. Identify at least 2 actual areas where this technique can be used
and explain which algorithms can be employed to solve these problems.
(5 pt.) As a ML engineer, working at e-commerce company you are planning to implement
machine learning solutions,list out some of the challenges you might face and how would you
address these challenges.
[We are expecting: For the case presented above, write a brief answer limited to 300 words.]

2 Short Question:: Pick one from each category.

2.1 Overfitting:: Answer any 1.
(2.5 pt.) What are overfitting and underfitting? Why is it a problem in machine learning?
Explain the concepts with the help of examples.
(2.5 pt.) Explain at least two methods used to prevent overfitting in deep learning with
examples.
[We are expecting: For the question presented above, write a brief answer limited to 200
words.]

2.2 Neural Network Architecture:: Answer any 1.

(2.5 pt.) Explain the difference between a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a recur-
rent neural network (RNN). When would you use one over the other?. Explain in brief, the
challenges faced while training deep learning models and how can they be addressed?
(2.5 pt.) What are the main differences between normal Neural Network architectures and
autoencoders? Explain in brief with example,How autoencoders can be applied in various
contexts (problems at least one)? Explain how they help addressing these problems.
