Skills in different fields
Mostly questions about problems they face and how my experience would help to solve them.
Mainly tested proficiency in problem solving, the questions were really innovative and focused on fundamental problem solving ability on machine learning problems.
def nucleus(probs: list[float], p: float) -> list[float]: """ Get the top-p nucleus on a list of probabilities with a given threshold p. Args: probs: A probability distribution where each value is between 0 and 1. Each index corresponds a different outcome. p: The nucleus sampling threshold (0 < p <= 1). Returns: list[float]: A list of probabilities where only the top-p probabilities are retained and normalized, all others are set to zero. The order of the output is the same as the order of the input. Example: >>> probs = [0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.3] >>> p = 0.5 >>> nucleus(probs, p) [0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.5] """ def single_headed_attention(q, k, v): """Perform single-headed multi-headed self attention with masking. Args: q: (q_seq_len, head_dim) k: (kv_seq_len, head_dim) v: (kv_seq_len, head_dim) Returns: np.ndarray: (q_seq_len, head_dim) """ scale = np.sqrt(q.shape[-1]) mask = ... # You may find np.triu or np.tri helpful # TODO raise NotImplementedError
Ask my background which is described in my C.V.
Several interviewers on the onsite visit asked technical questions based on their own research, essentially probing basic knowledge and problem-predicting ability.
mostly modeling questions regarding my work that I presented but they also asked following questions : why you want to work at CRO? what are you looking to achieve from this role?
To discuss my previous research experience
Are you willing to go to workshops abroad
