Applied Scientist Interview Questions

1,182 applied scientist 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.
