Ml Engineer Interview Questions

2,763 ml engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Some questions that were asked: - Can you perform linear regression when two features are identical? - How would you train a logistic regression model when you have many more 0’s than 1’s in your training set? - What are problems with drop-out regularization and how are they tackled? - Why does L2 regularization work better than L1 regularization? - What are random forests? The interview ended with a programming challenge on a (virtual) whiteboard. It was a hard challenge that I could not solve within the ca. 10 minutes that I was given. Having two people watch what you type of course doesn't help.

HR screen was simple asking me to walk through my resume. The coding challenge was difficult but, not too much. Ford does not allow any coding language besides Python. However, the grading of the coding challenge is a problem area. I answered all 3 questions and provided the data plots and accuracy metrics in the code. But to my dismay, I discovered later that they graded me a 7% score. This was beyond belief. The recruiter refused to even cross-check if there was any s/w glitch or, human error in the exchange of files or, if there could be any problem with the HackerRank s/w itself. I was declared to be a duffer and written off. I would never interview with Ford again.
