What the exam tests

What to know about AI Models and Data Engineering

AI Models and Data Engineering questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.

How the topic appears in realistic exam-style scenarios.

Which detail in the question changes the correct answer.

How to eliminate plausible but wrong options.

How to connect the question back to the wider exam objective.

Watch out for

Common AI Models and Data Engineering exam traps

▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

A team is training a deep learning model for image classification. The training loss decreases rapidly but validation loss starts increasing after a few epochs. Which regularization technique should be applied to mitigate this issue?

Trap 1: Data augmentation

Data augmentation improves generalization but doesn't stop training.

Trap 2: L2 regularization

L2 reduces overfitting but doesn't stop training when validation loss increases.

Trap 3: Dropout

Dropout helps but doesn't address the increasing validation loss trend.

A
Data augmentation
Why wrong: Data augmentation improves generalization but doesn't stop training.
B
L2 regularization
Why wrong: L2 reduces overfitting but doesn't stop training when validation loss increases.
C
Early stopping
Early stopping prevents overfitting by stopping training when validation loss starts to rise.
D
Dropout
Why wrong: Dropout helps but doesn't address the increasing validation loss trend.

A team is training a deep learning model for image classification. The training loss decreases rapidly but validation loss starts increasing after a few epochs. Which regularization technique should be applied to mitigate this issue?

A data scientist is working with a dataset that has 10,000 features but only 500 samples. The goal is to train a model for binary classification. Which feature selection technique is MOST appropriate to reduce overfitting?

A streaming data pipeline ingests sensor data from IoT devices. The data arrives at irregular intervals and contains occasional spikes. Which data transformation is most appropriate for preparing this data for a time-series model?

Refer to the exhibit. A data engineer is training a binary classification neural network. The loss fluctuates and does not converge. Which hyperparameter adjustment is most likely to stabilize training?

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit. A data engineer runs a validation report on the customers table. The "income" column has 12 null values. Which imputation strategy is most appropriate for this column?

Exhibit

A data pipeline processes customer data from multiple sources. The data quality check reveals duplicate records. Which step should the pipeline include to handle this?

A data engineer is designing a feature store for machine learning. Which THREE components are essential for a feature store? (Choose THREE.)

A data engineer is preprocessing text data for sentiment analysis. Which technique preserves word order while converting text to numeric features?

A data pipeline ingests streaming data from IoT sensors. The current batch processing pipeline causes stale predictions. Which architecture change is most appropriate?

Which TWO data preprocessing techniques reduce the dimensionality of a dataset?

A company wants to forecast monthly sales for the next year using historical sales data over three years. The data shows strong seasonality and a slight upward trend. Which model type is best suited for this task?

A machine learning engineer is training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with an RBF kernel on a dataset with features on different scales (e.g., age 0-100, income 0-1,000,000). The model converges slowly and yields poor accuracy. What should the engineer do first?

A data engineer is preparing a dataset for training a classification model. The dataset contains missing values in multiple features, inconsistent categorical labels, and outliers in numerical features. Which TWO preprocessing steps should the engineer prioritize to improve model performance?

A data scientist is preparing a dataset for training a classification model. The dataset contains 10,000 records with a binary target variable where 9,500 belong to class A and 500 belong to class B. Which technique should the scientist use to address the class imbalance?

A machine learning team is deploying a sentiment analysis model for customer reviews. The model was trained on reviews from an e-commerce site but will be used for a social media platform. The team observes a drop in accuracy. Which concept best explains this issue?

A data engineer needs to design a data pipeline for a real-time fraud detection system. The system requires low-latency processing of streaming transactions. Which architecture is most appropriate?

An organization needs to store sensitive customer data for training a machine learning model. The data must be encrypted at rest and in transit, and access must be audited. Which combination of practices should be implemented?
