Question 1
How would you handle unbalanced data in a machine learning training process?
I had a HR screening, pre panel interview with 3 people and a final interview with 5 panel. They didn't told to present my work prior to the panel interview which was disappointing
Phone interview with one manager, asked many questions including do you have experience in python and do you need a visa, plus the attitude is nice and at the end of the day it’s not of a chitchat
