Round 1 - Technical 

(4 Questions)

  • Q1. What is the difference between linear and classification?
  • Ans. 

    Linear regression is used for predicting continuous values, while classification is used for predicting discrete values.

    • Linear regression is used when the output variable is continuous, such as predicting house prices based on features like size and location.

    • Classification is used when the output variable is categorical, such as predicting whether an email is spam or not based on its content.

    • Linear regression aims to f...

  • Q2. Explain example of outlier
  • Ans. 

    An outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other data points in a dataset.

    • Outliers can skew statistical analyses and machine learning models.

    • Examples of outliers include a person's weight being recorded as 1000 lbs, when the average weight is around 150 lbs.

    • Outliers can be detected using statistical methods like Z-score or IQR.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Explain k mean algorithm
  • Ans. 

    K-means algorithm is a clustering technique that partitions data into k clusters based on similarity.

    • Divides data points into k clusters based on centroids

    • Iteratively assigns data points to the nearest centroid and updates centroids

    • Continues until centroids no longer change significantly

    • Example: Grouping customers based on purchasing behavior

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Explain the metrics for classification
  • Ans. 

    Classification metrics are used to evaluate the performance of a classification model.

    • Accuracy: measures the proportion of correctly classified instances out of total instances

    • Precision: measures the proportion of true positive predictions out of all positive predictions

    • Recall: measures the proportion of true positive predictions out of all actual positive instances

    • F1 Score: harmonic mean of precision and recall, balan...

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The first interviewer seemed more focused on putting fake english accent rather than conducting a meaningful and professional interview.Throughout the session he incessantly blabbered in this fake english accent, which gave me headache. Instead of delving into technical job related inquiries he seemed more interested in discussing personal matters.this left me puzzled as i had prepared extensively for a discussion centered around my professional qualifications.

on the contrary the second interviewer was almost silent throughout entire process, giving off an air of disinterest. it was evident that he could not care less and his lack of engagement made the atmosphere uncomfortable. its disheartening to encounter an interviewers who shows no enthusiasm in accessing a candidates skills.

To add insult to injury at the end of the interview the interviewer with fake english accent commented on my apparent lack of energy, asking if i had not had breakfast. This comment was not only unprofessional but also completely unrelated to the purpose of the interview . it left me questioning the legitimacy of their hiring process and the professionalism of the individuals involved
according to my side i have answered all the questions they asked the interviewer also he said that will be also taking round 2 but guess he was just lying.
the experience has shed light on the toxic environment that may exist in this company because of such individuals. its even disheartening to think about the employees who had to work around these individuals regularly
