Machine Learning Researcher Interview Questions

1,879 machine learning researcher interview questions shared by candidates

They asked two questions (mostly algorithms), the most important thing was the ability of my code to give correct results in a short time. It was possible to run my code online and see the results. Each question had an example that I could check my results. There were also some test cases that I could not see the input, but it showed how many of the test cases gave correct results. I had 90 minutes to finish the test.

The first part, the interviewers knew the area of machine learning extensively, and they asked me lots of theoretical question. The second part, they gave me an example of research plans and asked me how to approach this problem. The third part, the coding was simple; the numerical sorting question in Python. They connected the video chat from a medium size of a conference room, therefore the sound quality was not good. It was difficult for me to listen to the question even using headphone.

Behavioral ones are drawn from their "leadership principles" and they ask you for examples from your experience. Not sure if those questions are pure bureaucracy or actually used for a decision. Lots of machine learning 101. Explain your past research projects. Whiteboard coding.
