Inter position interview; machine learning general question(overfitting, dropout) and simple coding(list duplicate items detection) wasn't hard enough to answer all questions. Some behavioral questions asking about the responsibility and limitations
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what is dropout and overfitting? how can we solve?
Applied for Amazon AGI. After first round, it will go into full round of multiple interviews. Lots of modern LLM training technic questions. There are still some behavioral questions, but less than general Amazon roles.
Interviewed with 1 phone screen, 1 coding, 2 ml design and 2 lp rounds. Most questions were non-leetcode questions more related to day to day ml implementations. The questions were very practical.
