You can read the web-friendly version of the book here. You can find the source code on GitHub. The Discord to discuss the answers to the questions in the book is here. As a candidate, I’ve interviewed at a dozen big companies and startups. I’ve got offers for machine learning roles at companies including Google, NVIDIA, Snap, Netflix, Primer AI, and Snorkel AI. I’ve also been rejected at many other companies. As an interviewer, I’ve been involved in designing and executing the hiring process at NVIDIA and Snorkel AI, having taken steps from cold emailing candidates whose work I love, screening resumes, doing exploratory and technical interviews, debating whether or not to hire a candidate, to trying to convince candidates to choose us over competitive offers. As a friend and teacher, I’ve helped many friends and students prepare for their machine learning interviews at big companies and startups. I give them mock interviews and take notes of the process they went through as well as the questions they were asked. I’ve also consulted several startups on their machine learning hiring pipelines. Hiring for machine learning roles turned out to be pretty difficult when you don’t already have a strong in-house machine learning team and process to help you evaluate candidates. As the use of machine learning in the industry is still pretty new, a lot of companies are still making it up as they go along, which doesn’t make it easier for candidates. This book is the result of the collective wisdom of many people who have sat on both sides of the table and who have spent a lot of time thinking about the hiring process. It was written with candidates in mind, but hiring managers who saw the early drafts told me that they found it helpful to learn how other companies are hiring, and to rethink their own process. The book consists of two parts. The first part provides an overview of the machine learning interview process, what types of machine learning roles are available, what skills each role requires, what kinds of questions are often asked, and how to prepare for them. This part also explains the interviewers’ mindset and what kind of signals they look for. The second part consists of over 200 knowledge questions, each noted with its level of difficulty -- interviews for more senior roles should expect harder questions -- that cover important concepts and common misconceptions in machine learning. After you've finished this book, you might want to checkout the 30 open-ended questions to test your ability to put together what you know to solve practical challenges. These questions test your problem-solving skills as well as the extent of your experiences in implementing and deploying machine learning models. Some companies call them machine learning systems design questions. Almost all companies I’ve talked to ask at least a question of this type in their interview process, and they are the questions that candidates often find to be the hardest. “Machine learning systems design” is an intricate topic that merits its own book. To learn more about it, check out my course CS 329S: Machine learning systems design at Stanford. This book is not a replacement to machine learning textbooks nor a shortcut to game the interviews. It’s a tool to consolidate your existing theoretical and practical knowledge in machine learning. The questions in this book can also help identify your blind/weak spots. Each topic is accompanied by resources that should help you strengthen your understanding of that topic.

QUESTION
I have trained an RNN model with pytorch. I need to use the model for prediction in an environment where I'm unable to install pytorch because of some strange dependency issue with glibc. However, I can install numpy and scipy and other libraries. So, I want to use the trained model, with the network definition, without pytorch.
I have the weights of the model as I save the model with its state dict and weights in the standard way, but I can also save it using just json/pickle files or similar.
I also have the network definition, which depends on pytorch in a number of ways. This is my RNN network definition.
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Feb-17 at 10:47You should try to export the model using torch.onnx. The page gives you an example that you can start with.
An alternative is to use TorchScript, but that requires torch libraries.
Both of these can be run without python. You can load torchscript in a C++ application https://pytorch.org/tutorials/advanced/cpp_export.html
ONNX is much more portable and you can use in languages such as C#, Java, or Javascript https://onnxruntime.ai/ (even on the browser)

QUESTION
I'm trying to implement a gradient-free optimizer function to train convolutional neural networks with Julia using Flux.jl. The reference paper is this: https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.05955. This paper proposes RSO, a gradient-free optimization algorithm updates single weight at a time on a sampling bases. The pseudocode of this algorithm is depicted in the picture below.
I'm using MNIST dataset.
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-14 at 23:47Based on the paper you shared, it looks like you need to change the weight arrays per each output neuron per each layer. Unfortunately, this means that the implementation of your optimization routine is going to depend on the layer type, since an "output neuron" for a convolution layer is quite different than a fully-connected layer. In other words, just looping over Flux.params(model)
is not going to be sufficient, since this is just a set of all the weight arrays in the model and each weight array is treated differently depending on which layer it comes from.
Fortunately, Julia's multiple dispatch does make this easier to write if you use separate functions instead of a giant loop. I'll summarize the algorithm using the pseudo-code below:

QUESTION
I am trying to train a model using PyTorch. When beginning model training I get the following error message:
RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 5.37 GiB (GPU 0; 7.79 GiB total capacity; 742.54 MiB already allocated; 5.13 GiB free; 792.00 MiB reserved in total by PyTorch)
I am wondering why this error is occurring. From the way I see it, I have 7.79 GiB total capacity. The numbers it is stating (742 MiB + 5.13 GiB + 792 MiB) do not add up to be greater than 7.79 GiB. When I check nvidia-smi
I see these processes running
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-23 at 06:13This is more of a comment, but worth pointing out.
The reason in general is indeed what talonmies commented, but you are summing up the numbers incorrectly. Let's see what happens when tensors are moved to GPU (I tried this on my PC with RTX2060 with 5.8G usable GPU memory in total):
Let's run the following python commands interactively:
QUESTION
I am a bit confusing with comparing best GridSearchCV model and baseline.
For example, we have classification problem.
As a baseline, we'll fit a model with default settings (let it be logistic regression):
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-04 at 21:17No, they aren't comparable.
Your baseline model used X_train
to fit the model. Then you're using the fitted model to score the X_train
sample. This is like cheating because the model is going to already perform the best since you're evaluating it based on data that it has already seen.
The grid searched model is at a disadvantage because:
- It's working with less data since you have split the
X_train
sample. - Compound that with the fact that it's getting trained with even less data due to the 5 folds (it's training with only 4/5 of
X_val
per fold).
So your score for the grid search is going to be worse than your baseline.
Now you might ask, "so what's the point of best_model.best_score_
? Well, that score is used to compare all the models used when searching for the optimal hyperparameters in your search space, but in no way should be used to compare against a model that was trained outside of the grid search context.
So how should one go about conducting a fair comparison?
- Split your training data for both models.

QUESTION
IF we are not sure about the nature of categorical features like whether they are nominal or ordinal, which encoding should we use? Ordinal-Encoding or One-Hot-Encoding? Is there a clearly defined rule on this topic?
I see a lot of people using Ordinal-Encoding on Categorical Data that doesn't have a Direction. Suppose a frequency table:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-04 at 06:43You're right. Just one thing to consider for choosing OrdinalEncoder
or OneHotEncoder
is that does the order of data matter?
Most ML algorithms will assume that two nearby values are more similar than two distant values. This may be fine in some cases e.g., for ordered categories such as:
quality = ["bad", "average", "good", "excellent"]
orshirt_size = ["large", "medium", "small"]
but it is obviously not the case for the:
color = ["white","orange","black","green"]
column (except for the cases you need to consider a spectrum, say from white to black. Note that in this case, white
category should be encoded as 0
and black
should be encoded as the highest number in your categories), or if you have some cases for example, say, categories 0 and 4 may be more similar than categories 0 and 1. To fix this issue, a common solution is to create one binary attribute per category (One-Hot encoding)
QUESTION
I am using sentence-transformers for semantic search but sometimes it does not understand the contextual meaning and returns wrong result eg. BERT problem with context/semantic search in italian language
by default the vector side of embedding of the sentence is 78 columns, so how do I increase that dimension so that it can understand the contextual meaning in deep.
code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-10 at 07:39Increasing the dimension of a trained model is not possible (without many difficulties and re-training the model). The model you are using was pre-trained with dimension 768, i.e., all weight matrices of the model have a corresponding number of trained parameters. Increasing the dimensionality would mean adding parameters which however need to be learned.
Also, the dimension of the model does not reflect the amount of semantic or context information in the sentence representation. The choice of the model dimension reflects more a trade-off between model capacity, the amount of training data, and reasonable inference speed.
If the model that you are using does not provide representation that is semantically rich enough, you might want to search for better models, such as RoBERTa or T5.
QUESTION
I have a table with features that were used to build some model to predict whether user will buy a new insurance or not. In the same table I have probability of belonging to the class 1 (will buy) and class 0 (will not buy) predicted by this model. I don't know what kind of algorithm was used to build this model. I only have its predicted probabilities.
Question: how to identify what features affect these prediction results? Do I need to build correlation matrix or conduct any tests?
Table example:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-11 at 15:55You could build a model like this.
x = features you have. y = true_lable
from that you can extract features importance. also, if you want to go the extra mile,you can do Bootstrapping, so that the features importance would be more stable (statistical).
