The Indian initiative for promoting digital payments and financial inclusion is called ________.
- Events / Messages
- Aditya
- Container / Image
- Digital India / UPI
Answer: Digital India / UPI
Digital India encompasses UPI, Aadhaar, DigiLocker for inclusive digital services. UPI enables instant, interoperable payments driving financial inclusion. Critical for digital economy questions.
Data leakage occurs when test data influences training, leading to overly optimistic performance estimates.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Data leakage: using future data, target information, or test set in training/preprocessing. Causes overfitting and poor generalization. Critical to prevent via proper data splitting and pipeline design.
Which metric is most appropriate for evaluating regression models?
- Accuracy
- Precision
- RMSE
- F1 Score
Answer: RMSE
Regression metrics: RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) penalizes large errors, MAE for robustness, R² for variance explained. Choice depends on business impact of errors.
The technique that converts categorical variables into numerical format for ML models is called ________ Encoding.
- -a
- Red Team / Penetration
- P4 / Programmable
- Label / One-Hot
Answer: Label / One-Hot
Categorical encoding: label encoding for ordinal variables, one-hot for nominal, target encoding for high-cardinality. Choice impacts model performance and interpretability.
Multi-region deployment improves application availability by protecting against regional outages.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Multi-region architecture distributes workload across geographic regions, enabling failover during regional disasters. Critical for business continuity and global user experience.
Which service enables serverless data processing triggered by events?
- Lambda
- Cloud Functions
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Serverless compute (AWS Lambda, GCP Cloud Functions) executes code in response to events: API calls, file uploads, messages. Auto-scaling, pay-per-execution pricing. Critical for event-driven architectures.
The framework that standardizes security control implementation for cloud environments is called ________.
- Fairness
- Aadhaar
- CSA CCM / Cloud Controls Matrix
- Frequency
Answer: CSA CCM / Cloud Controls Matrix
Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix provides comprehensive security controls for cloud services, mapped to standards like ISO 27001, NIST. Critical for cloud security governance.
Which technology provides endpoint detection and response capabilities for advanced threats?
- EDR
- XDR
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
EDR focuses on endpoint telemetry and response; XDR extends to network, cloud, email for cross-domain threat detection. Critical for comprehensive threat protection.
GitOps uses Git repositories as single source of truth for infrastructure and ML deployments.
- True
- False
Answer: True
GitOps (ArgoCD, Flux) declaratively defines desired state in Git; operators sync cluster state. Benefits: audit trail, rollback via git revert, peer review via PRs. Critical for cloud-native MLOps.
Which practice ensures ML models are monitored for performance degradation in production?
- Drift Detection
- Metric Dashboards
- Alerting
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Production monitoring: drift detection for data/concept changes, dashboards for real-time metrics, alerting for anomalies. Critical for maintaining ML system reliability and business value.
Self-supervised learning enables models to learn from unlabeled data by predicting masked tokens.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Self-supervised learning (BERT, GPT pre-training) creates supervisory signals from data structure: mask prediction, next sentence prediction. Enables learning from vast unlabeled corpora.
Which technique enables LLMs to maintain context across long conversations?
- Context Window
- Memory Mechanisms
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Long-context handling: larger context windows (128K+ tokens), memory mechanisms (summarization, retrieval) maintain conversation history. Critical for chatbots and assistants.
