What should you do?

Question104: You work for a retail company. You have been asked to develop a model to predict whether a customer will purchase a product on a given day. Your team has processed the company's sales data, and created a table with the following rows:
* Customer_id
* Product_id
* Date
* Days_since_last_purchase (measured in days)
* Average_purchase_frequency (measured in 1/days)
* Purchase (binary class, if customer purchased product on the Date)
You need to interpret your models results for each individual prediction. What should you do?

Question105: You are designing an architecture with a serverless ML system to enrich customer support tickets with informative metadata before they are routed to a support agent. You need a set of models to predict ticket priority, predict ticket resolution time, and perform sentiment analysis to help agents make strategic decisions when they process support requests. Tickets are not expected to have any domain-specific terms or jargon.
The proposed architecture has the following flow:

Which endpoints should the Enrichment Cloud Functions call?

Question106: You are an ML engineer at a travel company. You have been researching customers' travel behavior for many years, and you have deployed models that predict customers' vacation patterns. You have observed that customers' vacation destinations vary based on seasonality and holidays; however, these seasonal variations are similar across years. You want to quickly and easily store and compare the model versions and performance statistics across years. What should you do?

Question107: You have a functioning end-to-end ML pipeline that involves tuning the hyperparameters of your ML model using Al Platform, and then using the best-tuned parameters for training. Hypertuning is taking longer than expected and is delaying the downstream processes. You want to speed up the tuning job without significantly compromising its effectiveness. Which actions should you take?

Question108: You are building an ML model to predict trends in the stock market based on a wide range of factors. While exploring the data, you notice that some features have a large range. You want to ensure that the features with the largest magnitude don't overfit the model. What should you do?

Question109: You are the Director of Data Science at a large company, and your Data Science team has recently begun using the Kubeflow Pipelines SDK to orchestrate their training pipelines. Your team is struggling to integrate their custom Python code into the Kubeflow Pipelines SDK. How should you instruct them to proceed in order to quickly integrate their code with the Kubeflow Pipelines SDK?

Question110: You work for a bank and are building a random forest model for fraud detection. You have a dataset that includes transactions, of which 1% are identified as fraudulent. Which data transformation strategy would likely improve the performance of your classifier?

Question111: Your organization manages an online message board A few months ago, you discovered an increase in toxic language and bullying on the message board. You deployed an automated text classifier that flags certain comments as toxic or harmful. Now some users are reporting that benign comments referencing their religion are being misclassified as abusive Upon further inspection, you find that your classifier's false positive rate is higher for comments that reference certain underrepresented religious groups. Your team has a limited budget and is already overextended. What should you do?

Question112: You are building a model to predict daily temperatures. You split the data randomly and then transformed the training and test datasets. Temperature data for model training is uploaded hourly. During testing, your model performed with 97% accuracy; however, after deploying to production, the model's accuracy dropped to 66%. How can you make your production model more accurate?

Question113: You work for a large retailer and you need to build a model to predict customer churn. The company has a dataset of historical customer data, including customer demographics, purchase history, and website activity. You need to create the model in BigQuery ML and thoroughly evaluate its performance. What should you do?

Question114: You recently developed a deep learning model using Keras, and now you are experimenting with different training strategies. First, you trained the model using a single GPU, but the training process was too slow. Next, you distributed the training across 4 GPUs using tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy (with no other changes), but you did not observe a decrease in training time. What should you do?

Question115: You have written unit tests for a Kubeflow Pipeline that require custom libraries. You want to automate the execution of unit tests with each new push to your development branch in Cloud Source Repositories. What should you do?

Question116: You work for a retail company. You have created a Vertex Al forecast model that produces monthly item sales predictions. You want to quickly create a report that will help to explain how the model calculates the predictions. You have one month of recent actual sales data that was not included in the training dataset. How should you generate data for your report?

Question117: You have trained an XGBoost model that you plan to deploy on Vertex Al for online prediction. You are now uploading your model to Vertex Al Model Registry, and you need to configure the explanation method that will serve online prediction requests to be returned with minimal latency.

Question120: You are training models in Vertex Al by using data that spans across multiple Google Cloud Projects You need to find track, and compare the performance of the different versions of your models Which Google Cloud services should you include in your ML workflow?

Question121: You work for an online grocery store. You recently developed a custom ML model that recommends a recipe when a user arrives at the website. You chose the machine type on the Vertex Al endpoint to optimize costs by using the queries per second (QPS) that the model can serve, and you deployed it on a single machine with 8 vCPUs and no accelerators.
A holiday season is approaching and you anticipate four times more traffic during this time than the typical daily traffic You need to ensure that the model can scale efficiently to the increased demand. What should you do?
