SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Interviewers and mock-interview systems often lack structured, role-specific question banks for algorithm engineering positions, leading to shallow questions that only test memorized definitions rather than real understanding. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Domain Question Bank: Covers machine learning fundamentals, deep learning training, Transformer architecture, LLM fine-tuning, recommendation systems, feature engineering, AB testing, model deployment, data quality, and CV/NLP specializations. - Difficulty Ladders and Signals: Each topic provides a progression ladder from basic to advanced, plus danger signals and expected signals to evaluate candidate answers. - Resume-Based Probing: Hooks map resume claims (e.g., "accuracy improved X%", competition rankings, model deployment) to targeted follow-up questions on experiment validity, leakage, baselines, and online metrics. - Use Case: An AI mock-interview system loads this Skill when a candidate applies for a recommendation algorithm role, then generates questions about recall sample construction, negative sampling, and AB test confidence tailored to the candidate's resume. ## Quick Start Load this Skill and ask it to generate a mock interview question set for a machine learning engineer candidate based on their resume.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create interview questions for machine learning engineer roles?▼

Use a structured question bank covering ML fundamentals, deep learning training, Transformers, and deployment. This Skill provides difficulty ladders per topic, from basic definitions to derivation-level questions, plus danger and expected signals for scoring answers.

What topics should an algorithm engineer interview cover?▼

Core topics include overfitting and regularization, evaluation metrics like AUC and GAUC, Transformer attention mechanics, LoRA fine-tuning, recommendation system pipelines, feature consistency, AB testing, and model deployment optimization such as quantization and latency tuning.

How to evaluate candidate answers in ML interviews?▼

Each topic lists danger signals (e.g., only answering "add regularization" for overfitting) and expected signals (e.g., distinguishing leakage from distribution shift). Interviewers should probe to formula or mechanism level rather than accepting memorized conclusions.

Does this question bank work for both campus and experienced hires?▼

Yes. Campus candidates are assessed on derivation ability and honest experiment evaluation, while experienced hires must explain online metrics, AB test confidence, and deployment performance. The Skill adjusts expectations per seniority level.

How to ask follow-up questions based on a candidate's resume?▼

The Skill provides resume hooks: claims like "accuracy improved X%" trigger questions on metric definitions, validation splits, and leakage; model deployment claims trigger questions on QPS, p99 latency, monitoring, and rollback.
