Machine Learning Interview Questions

"To get a job in machine learning, you must have the programming and mathematical knowledge to create artificial intelligence that is capable of learning new tasks without being explicitly coded. In an interview you may be asked about your experience with pertinent coding languages such as Java and C++ as well as with writing algorithms. The interview will be comprised mainly of technical questions that test your knowledge of the fundamental concepts of machine learning such as data mining and signal processing."

They asked me to implement a sparse matrix from scratch, without relying on any existing matrix or linear algebra libraries. This required designing an efficient internal data structure to store only the non-zero elements, rather than allocating memory for the entire matrix. In addition to the core representation, I needed to implement both addition and multiplication operations, making sure they handled sparsity correctly, maintained good performance, and produced accurate results even when matrices had different sparsity patterns.
