Google AI Interview Questions – Acing the AI Interview
- vimarshk 9y agoHappy to discuss if there are any comments.
- mrep 9y agoWhat degree does the typical google AI engineer have? How much many hours do you think it would it take to learn the required material to be able to get in with just a bachelors in CS?
- vimarshk 9y agoUsually we are talking about having a PhD in an AI related field. Again I do not have stats to corroborate this information but going through their research blogs the culture is heavily research oriented.
- mrep 9y agoThat is what I expected unfortunately. What is the pay like? The reason I ask is because I am super interested in the field but sacrificing 1.25 million dollars worth of pay (5 years of lost google senior software engineer pay to get masters and PHD and that is not even counting the time value of money) in a risky career move should benefit with large compensation IMHO.
- vimarshk 9y agoAI courses on Udacity are great for self starters. If that peaks your interest it should help you accelerate your learning further as well. I have learned the same way. Hours and effort would differ from person to person.
- ganeshkrishnan 9y agoGbm vs logistic regression. Isn't gbm just trees? Been using it in spark for close to an year and never bothered to learn the difference. I just run both and choose the best algorithm. I have been working on ML for close to two years and I can't answer most of these questions. Guess I am not cut out for Google
- vimarshk 9y agoThis is just a sample of the questions they ask. I think Google interviews are dense and go back to first principles which is what I have learned as well.
- Eridrus 9y agoThis seems like a set of questions for Analysts, rather then Engineers. If you apply for a ML SWE role, these are unlikely to be the questions you get, though with a company as large as Google, who knows what your interviewer will bust out. GBM is trees, and I think the question is to explain why you would want trees, but I think the trick for fitting arbitrary differentiable loss functions in a GBM is pretty nifty.
- ganeshkrishnan 9y agoIt's up to the interviewer to ask the questions I assume. I was the technical recruiter for IBM and I always asked abstract technical questions rather than something that can be googled
- csinguva 9y agoCurious how much do get paid?
- vimarshk 9y agoPer Glassdoor - Research Scientist - Avg total compensation $231,523. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Google-Research-Scientist-Salaries-E9079_D_KO7,25.htm https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Google-Research-Scientist-S...
