I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed in Dec 2023. There were 3 interview rounds.

Round 1 - One-on-one 

(6 Questions)

  • Q1. Why CNN is preferred over feed forward neural networks ?
  • Ans. 

    CNN is preferred over feed forward neural networks due to their ability to capture spatial and temporal dependencies in data.

    • CNNs are designed to effectively capture spatial relationships in data, making them ideal for tasks like image recognition.

    • CNNs use shared weights and local connectivity to efficiently learn patterns in data, reducing the number of parameters compared to feed forward neural networks.

    • CNNs are also...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Problem based linear regression questions, basically about identifying the actual relationship between IV and DV variables.
  • Q3. If dealing with non-linearity with same data as in above question, which algo to prefer ? Typically it was on polynomial regression and how we choose the degree there ?
  • Q4. Explain overfitting and underfitting ? Techniques to avoid this
  • Ans. 

    Overfitting occurs when a model learns noise in the training data rather than the underlying pattern, while underfitting occurs when a model is too simple to capture the underlying pattern.

    • Overfitting: Model performs well on training data but poorly on unseen data. Can be avoided by using techniques like cross-validation, regularization, and early stopping.

    • Underfitting: Model is too simple to capture the underlying pat...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Explain cross validation and its process of working
  • Ans. 

    Cross validation is a technique used to assess the performance of a predictive model by splitting the data into training and testing sets multiple times.

    • Divide the data into k subsets (folds)

    • Train the model on k-1 folds and test on the remaining fold

    • Repeat this process k times, each time using a different fold as the test set

    • Calculate the average performance metric across all k iterations to evaluate the model

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. Python based few things
Round 2 - Case Study 

It was basically conceptual round with the vp. There were General questions about the studies, projects, data science journey etc.

And then an use case. I don't remember exactly but it was something like..

Different companies sales their different models of cars and providing incentives which are not coming through dealers obviously..infact from manufacturer itself.
Few more things on this and then questions like-
How would you convert this into an analytics problem?
What kind of data would be required to perform such analysis?
If you are dealing with regression problem but time is involved there, how you will solve that now ?
Some things on trend, seasonality in time series analysis, about arima.


Basically statistical kind of round but based on business scenarios.
Hope that helps😉
