A monitoring service generates 1 TB of scale metrics record data every minute. A Research team performs queries on this data using Amazon Athena. The queries run slowly due to the large volume of data, and the team requires better performance.

How should the records be stored in Amazon S3 to improve query performance?

  1. CSV files
  2. Parquet files
  3. Compressed JSON
  4. RecordIO

Answer(s): B



Machine Learning Specialist is working with a media company to perform classification on popular articles from the company's website. The company is using random forests to classify how popular an article will be before it is published. A sample of the data being used is below.


Given the dataset, the Specialist wants to convert the Day_Of_Week column to binary values. What technique should be used to convert this column to binary values?

  1. Binarization
  2. One-hot encoding
  3. Tokenization
  4. Normalization transformation

Answer(s): B



A gaming company has launched an online game where people can start playing for free, but they need to pay if they choose to use certain features. The company needs to build an automated system to predict whether or not a new user will become a paid user within 1 year. The company has gathered a labeled dataset from 1 million users.

The training dataset consists of 1,000 positive samples (from users who ended up paying within 1 year) and 999,000 negative samples (from users who did not use any paid features). Each data sample consists of 200 features including user age, device, location, and play patterns.

Using this dataset for training, the Data Science team trained a random forest model that converged with over 99% accuracy on the training set. However, the prediction results on a test dataset were not satisfactory

Which of the following approaches should the Data Science team take to mitigate this issue? (Choose two.)

  1. Add more deep trees to the random forest to enable the model to learn more features.
  2. Include a copy of the samples in the test dataset in the training dataset.
  3. Generate more positive samples by duplicating the positive samples and adding a small amount of noise to the duplicated data.
  4. Change the cost function so that false negatives have a higher impact on the cost value than false positives.
  5. Change the cost function so that false positives have a higher impact on the cost value than false negatives.

Answer(s): C,D



A Data Scientist is developing a machine learning model to predict future patient outcomes based on information collected about each patient and their treatment plans. The model should output a continuous value as its prediction. The data available includes labeled outcomes for a set of 4,000 patients. The study was conducted on a group of individuals over the age of 65 who have a particular disease that is known to worsen with age.

Initial models have performed poorly. While reviewing the underlying data, the Data Scientist notices that, out of 4,000 patient observations, there are 450 where the patient age has been input as 0. The other features for these observations appear normal compared to the rest of the sample population

How should the Data Scientist correct this issue?

  1. Drop all records from the dataset where age has been set to 0.
  2. Replace the age field value for records with a value of 0 with the mean or median value from the dataset
  3. Drop the age feature from the dataset and train the model using the rest of the features.
  4. Use k-means clustering to handle missing features

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Dropping the Age feature is a NOT ATOLL a good idea - as age plays a critical role in this disease as per the question
Dropping 10% of data is NOT a good idea considering the fact that the number of observations is already low.
The Mean or Median are a potential solutions
But the question says that "Disease worsens after age 65 so there is a correlation between age and other symptoms related feature" So that means that using Unsupervised Learning we can make pretty good prediction of "Age"

A Data Science team is designing a dataset repository where it will store a large amount of training data commonly used in its machine learning models. As Data Scientists may create an arbitrary number of new datasets every day, the solution has to scale automatically and be cost-effective. Also, it must be possible to explore the data using SQL.

Which storage scheme is MOST adapted to this scenario?

  1. Store datasets as files in Amazon S3.
  2. Store datasets as files in an Amazon EBS volume attached to an Amazon EC2 instance.
  3. Store datasets as tables in a multi-node Amazon Redshift cluster.
  4. Store datasets as global tables in Amazon DynamoDB.

Answer(s): A
