👇Extra interview tips (if interview task is to summarize a machine learning paper and present some slides):
1. Put the important equations from the paper on your slides for the interview, so you could refer to them if asked
2. Examples of questions that the interviewer(s) may ask:
- Would variable A increase/ decrease if we change variable B?
- What does the equation imply?
- Give an example in real life of the noise variable (or any other variable mentioned in the paper)?

These interview questions aim to check the interviewee’s understanding beyond what’s written in the paper directly. Therefore, I suggested in this video to work out the equations in the paper in advance to ensure I understand the key concepts, and think about the real life applications.

How I approached this type of mathematical questions (if I don’t immediately know the answer) is to state where I could infer the answer ie. Which slide and equation, explain what the variables and equations on my slides represent, communicate my thought process clearly and eventually work out the answer. Hope this helps! 😀

Hi Giga, could you please share what papers will be given for applicants to read before the interview? For example, whose papers are mostly asked? I am preparing for MPhil in MLMI this year. I love your videos so much!

Thank you for this helpful video! Your advice is really actionable and practical. You are also an example of how we can change fields into engineering even though our background is not strictly in engineering. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video!

Hi!

Can you tell us which subdomains of Machine Learning the papers are from?
Which you or your friends encountered?

I try to figure out how much knowledge they demand from a prospective student.

Thanks for the great videos!
