NLP project:
What was the project about
How did you vectorize the data:

What metric did you use to evaluate the model
F1 score, precision-recall, ROC-AUC
Visual recognition project:
Tell me about the project
How did you deal with overfitting?
Do you know anything about drop-out?
3. Why would you choose logistic regression over a random forest model?
4. Imagine you have a column with a categorical variable (like the type of vehicle, how would you handle such a variable?
5. Now say have a column for zip code, how would you deal with this
6. Brain teaser:
draw a square of side 1 inch2 and draw a circle inside it such that the circle touches the side of the square
Find the area of the circle
Now imagine you don’t know the formula for the area of the circle
How will you approximate the area of the circle?
Imagine I give you a scissor and weighing scale, how will you find the area of the circle now?
