🧐 Question
Medium Dynamic Programming Concept
Explain the concept of dynamic programming and provide an example of a problem where dynamic programming can be applied effectively.
Medium Greedy vs Dynamic Programming
Discuss the difference between Greedy Algorithms and Dynamic Programming. Provide a scenario where you would choose one over the other and explain your reasoning.
Medium Shallow vs Deep Neural Networks
Discuss the trade-offs between using a shallow neural network with more neurons versus a deep neural network with fewer neurons in terms of computational efficiency and model performance. When would you choose one over the other?
Medium Vanishing Gradients Problem
Can you explain the concept of vanishing gradients in the context of training deep neural networks? How does it affect the learning process and what are some techniques to mitigate this issue?
Medium Performance vs Storage
How do you approach designing a data model for a system that requires both high performance for read operations and efficient storage utilization? Can you give an example of a trade-off you might make in such a scenario?
Medium Schema Comparison
Can you explain the difference between a star schema and a snowflake schema in the context of data modeling? Provide examples of when you would use each schema.
Medium data.table vs dplyr
Can you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using R's data.table package compared to dplyr for data manipulation tasks?
Medium List Comprehension vs Generator Expression
Explain the difference between list comprehension and generator expression in Python. When would you choose one over the other?
Medium Overfitting and Limited Data
How do you handle overfitting in deep learning models, especially when working with limited data? Can you share a specific technique you have used successfully in the past?
Medium Transfer Learning
Can you explain the concept of transfer learning in deep learning and provide an example of how you have implemented it in a project?
Medium Handling Missing Values and Outliers
How would you approach analyzing a dataset with missing values and outliers? Share a specific technique or method you have used in the past to handle such data challenges effectively.
Medium P-value and Hypothesis Testing
Can you explain the concept of p-value and its significance in hypothesis testing? Provide an example where understanding p-value influenced the decision-making process in a real-world scenario.
Medium Communicating Complexity
Describe a situation where you had to communicate a complex idea to a non-technical stakeholder. How did you ensure effective communication and understanding? What strategies did you use to overcome any potential misunderstandings?
Medium Team Dynamic Challenge
Can you provide an example of a time when you had to navigate a challenging team dynamic to successfully deliver a project? How did you approach the situation and what was the outcome?
