54,225 data scientists interview questions shared by candidates

To create a network graph from a log file in 20 mins. Guess the interviewer wanted a simple dictionary as a data structure but confused me with calling it a network graph repeatedly. If he indeed wanted it like a graph where all properties such as pre order , in order traversal could be applied. It's no way a 20 min question.

Python and SQL challenges via HackerRank Including: - How many edges does a fully connected (or complete) graph have? Multiple choice - What is the fundamental difference between k-means clustering and KNN? Multiple choice - Which command would be used to ensure any local tracked changes are also shared amongst remote repositories? Multiple choice - Given 2 fair 6-sided dice and a fair coin, what is the probability of rolling a combined score of 7 with the dice and having the coin show heads after tossing? Multiple choice - Given data matrix X of shape n x d and transformation matrix sigma of shape d x k, which matrix multiplications will produce a transformed data matrix Xdash of shape n x k? Multiple choice - The sigmoid function is defined. What does its value tend to as its input x moves towards negative infinity? Multiple choice - SQL challenge of 2 tables with example answer, typed answer in SQL language of choice required - You are playing a card game with three cards. Both sides of one card are black, both sides of another are white, and the remaining card has one black side and one white side. You pick a card at random and see it has a black side face-up.
