Tip
Tip

Tip 1 : Prepare any 4-5 ML algorithms properly, especially maths and intuition behind it because it will help to explain to the interviewer in a more efficient manner
Tip 2 : Past project in ML/DS will have added advantage in resume shortlisting
Tip 3 : Coding is also necessary for ML profile( you can't take it lightly)

The interviewer asked me to share my screen so that there won't be any chance for any cheating
There were 2 coding questions + 1 Puzzle

1. Equilibrium Index

Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
GoogleAmazonWalmart

You are given an array Arr consisting of N integers. You need to find the equilibrium index of the array.

An index is considered as an equilibrium index if the sum of elements of the array to the left of that index is equal to the sum of elements to the right of it.

Note:

1. The array follows 0-based indexing, so you need to return the 0-based index of the element.
2. Note that the element at the equilibrium index won’t be considered for either left sum or right sum.
3. If there are multiple indices which satisfy the given condition, then return the left-most index i.e if there are indices i,j,k…. which are equilibrium indices, return the minimum among them
4. If no such index is present in the array, return -1.

Asked in companies
AmazonJP MorganDunzo

You are given an array/list ‘ARR’ of ‘N’ positive integers and an integer ‘K’. Your task is to check if there exists a subset in ‘ARR’ with a sum equal to ‘K’.

Note: Return true if there exists a subset with sum equal to ‘K’. Otherwise, return false.

For Example :
If ‘ARR’ is {1,2,3,4} and ‘K’ = 4, then there exists 2 subsets with sum = 4. These are {1,3} and {4}. Hence, return true.

3. Aptitude Question

Find the defective ball in minimum possible comparison?
Given 8 balls all look identical all ball have same weight except for one ball which is heavier than the rest of the ball, you need to find the heavier ball in a minimum number of comparisons using a weight balance

This round is mainly to check the ML concepts + Discussion on past projects

1. Technical Questions

PCA is ML algorithms which is mainly used for dimensionality reduction

My final year project was on Computer Vision using instance segmentation on 'Pothole Detection', so the interviewer asked me to explain it in detail

Here's your problem of the day
