Applied Scientist Interview Questions

1,174 applied scientist interview questions shared by candidates

The first interviewer spend maximum time on random forest algorithm and went into great detail. from bagging and boosting to gradient boosting techniques. He also spent quite some time with multiple linear regression problems. In the end there was one algorithm question. The second interviewer asked about classification for imbalanced data sets and response rate of models. In the end there were few SQL questions. Both interviewers were super helpful and walked through their questions. From my experience i think they really want the candidate to succeed.
