Key Interview Questions

DWM (22621)

1.What is a Data Warehouse?

A data warehouse is a centralized repository that stores large volumes


of data collected from various sources, used for analysis and reporting
to support decision-making processes.

2.Explain the ETL Process.

The Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process involves extracting data


from different sources, transforming it into a suitable format, and
loading it into a data warehouse for analysis. Candidates should
demonstrate familiarity with tools like SQL, Talend, or Informatica.

3.What are Dimensional and Fact Tables?

Dimensional tables store attributes related to the dimensions of data


(e.g., time, geography), while fact tables contain measurable,
quantitative data for analysis and include foreign keys linking to the
dimensional tables.

4.Describe Different Methods of Loading Dimension Tables.

Common methods include full load, incremental load, and bulk load,
each with its advantages depending on the specific requirements of
the data warehouse.

5.What is the Difference Between Star Schema and Snowflake


Schema?

A star schema has a central fact table connected to multiple dimension


tables directly, while a snowflake schema normalizes dimension
tables into multiple related tables for more complex relationships.

6.Can you Provide an Example of a Data Warehousing Project?


Candidates should describe specific projects they have worked on,
detailing their role, challenges faced (such as integrating disparate
data sources), and how they overcame these challenges using ETL
processes and data quality measures.

7.What is Active Data Warehousing?

Active data warehousing involves real-time data processing and


analytics to support immediate decision-making needs within an
organization.

8.How Do You Handle Data Quality Issues?

Discuss strategies such as data cleansing techniques, validation rules,


and monitoring processes to ensure high-quality data in the
warehouse.

9.What are OLAP Operations?

Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) operations include slicing,


dicing, drilling down/up, and pivoting to analyze multidimensional
data effectively.

10.Explain the Importance of Data Modeling in Data


Warehousing.

Data modeling is crucial for structuring the data warehouse


efficiently, ensuring that data is organized in a way that supports easy
access and analysis while maintaining integrity.

1.What are Advanced Algorithms in AI?
Discuss the significance of algorithms such as decision trees, neural
networks, and support vector machines in solving complex AI
problems.
2.Can you explain the concept of overfitting and how to prevent
it?
Overfitting occurs when a model learns noise in the training data
rather than the underlying pattern. Techniques to prevent overfitting
include cross-validation, regularization, and pruning.
3.What is the difference between supervised and unsupervised
learning?
Supervised learning uses labeled data to train models, whereas
unsupervised learning identifies patterns in data without labeled
responses.
4.Describe the role of hyperparameters in model training.
Hyperparameters are configurations set before training a model that
influence its performance, such as learning rate and number of hidden
layers in a neural network.
5.What is feature engineering and why is it important?
Feature engineering involves creating new input features from raw
data to improve model performance. It requires domain knowledge
and creativity.
6.Explain the Bias-Variance Tradeoff.
The bias-variance tradeoff is a fundamental concept where high bias
leads to underfitting and high variance leads to overfitting. Balancing
these two is crucial for optimal model performance.
What are Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)?
GANs consist of two neural networks—a generator that creates data
and a discriminator that evaluates it—used for generating realistic
data samples.
7.How does transfer learning work?
Transfer learning involves taking a pre-trained model on one task and
fine-tuning it for a different but related task, leveraging previously
learned features.
