Menu of Topics for a Machine Learning Interview

The most important thing in a machine learning interview or presentation is to be passionate when talking about it (duh!). Here are some of my favourite topics to discuss about:

Bayes rule and its applications
Data normalization/scaling techniques
Feature encoding/representation
Different types of classifiers/regressors for supervised learning
Text analysis: similarity measure between documents/texts, TF-IDF, N-grams, NLP techniques.
Computer vision: image classification, image segmentation, object detection.
Dimensionality reduction: PCA, UMAP, t-SNE, Fourier transform, etc.

Of course, be prepared also to talk about your own machine learning projects that you’ve done!
