On this note: My team and I at Analytical Flavor Systems[1] wrote a blog post on how we go about hiring data science interns[2]. It's heavier on the technical details, and suffers from less... romanticism....

- minimaxir 11y agoThere is definitely more technical detail and statistical process in that post, although I strongly question the use of a hiring test that intricate and time consuming for an internship.
- JasonCEC 11y agoIt's a 3 month paid internship, and 99% of the students have been from Princeton. Did you see the work we linked to? That's intern work here - we treat our interns as full members of the team, and they've delivered.
- asdfologist 11y agoSo you had 100 interns and 99 of them were from Princeton??
- JasonCEC 11y agoThat's now how percentages work....
- grayclhn 11y agoI'm really curious what numerator and denominator you have in mind, then... are you somehow using fractional internship units? :) (Ordinarily this would be off topic, but....)
- asdfologist 11y agoYes it does, because I'm pretty sure your company has not hired 200+ interns.
- disgruntledphd2 11y agoThat is very true. However, I'm all for these kinds of tests in general. I read the assignment (and after lol'ing at the specification of methods), found it reasonably interesting. I reckon it would take me an hour or two to complete (as long as I didn't get sucked in to exploring the data) :). Then again, I'm not looking for an internship.
- JasonCEC 11y agoYou should consider applying for a full time position ;)
