Hey Comrades,

Got a machine learning interview coming up and I’m a bit nervous. I know the basics but need help with:

  • Common Questions: What should I expect, both theory and coding?
  • Advanced Topics: Anything tricky I should prep for?
  • Problem-Solving: Tips for tackling complex problems?
  • Best Practices: How to show deep understanding?
  • Resources: Good practice problems or study materials?

Thanks a ton…

Hi Kolly, Common Questions
Expect both theoretical and practical queries. Key topics include:

  • Machine Learning Fundamentals: Concepts like supervised vs. unsupervised learning, model evaluation metrics, and bias-variance trade-off.
  • Algorithms: Knowledge of linear and logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, SVMs, clustering, and deep learning architectures.
  • Data Preprocessing: Techniques for handling missing values, outliers, feature scaling, and normalization.
  • Model Evaluation: Metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, ROC curves, and confusion matrices.
  • Coding and Problem-Solving: Challenges in Python or R, focusing on data manipulation, model implementation, and evaluation.

Advanced Topics

  • Deep Learning: CNNs, RNNs, transformers.
  • NLP: Text preprocessing, word embeddings, sentiment analysis.
  • Computer Vision: Image processing, object detection.
  • Reinforcement Learning: MDPs, Q-learning.
  • Big Data and Scalability: Managing large datasets, distributed computing.

Problem-Solving and Best Practices

  • Strong Communication: Clearly explain your thought process.
  • Practical Experience: Highlight ML projects.
  • Stay Updated: Follow recent advancements.
  • Domain Knowledge: Understand business context.
  • Coding Proficiency: Practice on LeetCode, HackerRank, or Kaggle.

Resources
