The Indian initiative for developing open digital public infrastructure is called ________ Stack.
- Container / Image
- Artificial Intelligence
- BharatKosh / e-Payments
- India
Answer: India
India Stack layers: identity (Aadhaar), payments (UPI), data sharing (AA), documents (DigiLocker). Enables innovation on public digital infrastructure. Critical for digital governance questions.
The metric that measures the proportion of positive predictions that are actually correct is called ________.
- Differential Privacy / DP
- Container / Image
- Precision
- Fairness
Answer: Precision
Precision = TP / (TP + FP). Critical for imbalanced classification tasks where false positives are costly (fraud detection, medical diagnosis). Complements recall for comprehensive evaluation.
The approach of keeping sensitive data on-premises while using cloud for compute is called ________ Cloud.
- Water Ice / Oxygen
- IMD / ISRO
- Hybrid
- Accessibility
Answer: Hybrid
Hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure with public cloud services. Enables data sovereignty compliance while leveraging cloud scalability. Critical for regulated industries.
The process of actively searching for threats that evade automated detection is called Threat ________.
- Anomaly
- Partnership on AI / Open Source Initiative
- ABHA / Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission
- Hunting
Answer: Hunting
Threat hunting uses hypotheses, analytics, and analyst expertise to find hidden adversaries. Complements automated detection. Critical for advanced persistent threat (APT) defense.
The technique that trains models on multiple tasks simultaneously to improve generalization is called ________ Learning.
- Wetware / Biological
- Virtual
- DNA / Molecular
- Multi-Task
Answer: Multi-Task
Multi-task learning shares representations across related tasks, improving sample efficiency and generalization. Critical for building versatile AI systems with limited labeled data per task.
The practice of versioning datasets, models, and code for reproducibility is called ________ Management.
- Inversion
- Supervised
- Artifact / Model Registry
- Quantum
Answer: Artifact / Model Registry
Artifact management (MLflow, DVC) tracks datasets, model versions, hyperparameters, and code commits. Enables reproducibility, auditability, and rollback in ML workflows. Critical for enterprise MLOps.
The technique that enables LLMs to reason step-by-step by generating intermediate thoughts is called Chain-of-________.
- Classification
- Zero Trust
- Thought
- Diffie-Hellman
Answer: Thought
Chain-of-Thought prompting encourages LLMs to generate reasoning steps before final answer, improving performance on complex reasoning tasks. Critical for enhancing LLM reliability in high-stakes applications.
The feature that allows UPI users to pay by scanning a code displayed at merchant outlets is called ________ Code.
- AePS
- DID
- QR
- 6G
Answer: QR
QR (Quick Response) Code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores payment information. UPI apps can scan merchant QR codes to initiate payments instantly without entering account details. NPCI's Bharat QR is interoperable across banks and payment apps, promoting cashless transactions at small merchants.
A security measure that converts sensitive data into a fixed-size string of characters, which cannot be reversed, is called ________.
- Masked
- LCH Prachand
- Hashing
- Rain
Answer: Hashing
Hashing transforms input data of any size into a fixed-length hash value using algorithms like SHA-256 or MD5. It is one-way (irreversible), used for password storage, data integrity verification, and digital signatures. Unlike encryption, hashed data cannot be decrypted to original form.
