What is the lifetime of a variable?

When we first run the tf.Variable.initializer operation for a variable in a session, it is started. It is destroyed when we run the tf.Session.close operation. The lifetime of a variable refers to the duration during which the variable exists in the memory of a program. The specific lifetime of a variable depends on its scope … Read more

What are intermediate tensors? Do sessions have lifetime?

The intermediate tensors are tensors that are neither inputs nor outputs of the Session.run() call, but are in the path leading from the inputs to the outputs; they will be freed at or before the end of the call. Sessions can own resources, few classes like tf.Variable, tf.QueueBase, and tf.ReaderBase, and they use a significant … Read more

What are the steps involved in the gradient descent algorithm?

Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm that is used to find the coefficients of parameters that are used to reduce the cost function to a minimum. Step 1: Allocate weights (x,y) with random values and calculate the error (SSE) Step 2: Calculate the gradient, i.e., the variation in SSE when the weights (x,y) are changed … Read more

What are the components of the generative adversarial network (GAN)? How do you deploy it?

Components of GAN: Generator Discriminator Deployment Steps: Train the model Validate and finalize the model Save the model Load the saved model for the next prediction For an interview question regarding Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), here’s a structured answer: Components of GAN: Generator: The generator network takes random noise as input and generates data samples … Read more

What is an autoencoder? Name a few applications

An autoencoder is basically used to learn a compressed form of the given data. A few applications of an autoencoder are given below: Data denoising Dimensionality reduction Image reconstruction Image colorization An autoencoder is a type of artificial neural network used for unsupervised learning. It aims to learn efficient data codings by training the network … Read more
