Machine Learning Interview in Big Companies

Hi, I don’t know if its the right place to ask that question. i researched a little bit about that but could not find a proper answer.

Do Big companies ask about Math formulas of DL/ML in the ML interviews? I’m not talking about Data science interviews.

Or do they ask to derive some formula or write formulas of some loss/optimization functions? Or write Backpropagation Mathematically?

Or do they need you to know just geometric Undestanding of different Linear Algebra/Calculus Topics? How does it work, why is it working like this and how would u use that in real-world scenarios?

Or Do they ask to compute some equation with formulas.

Hi @Tornike,

Yes, big companies do ask about math in ML interviews, especially for deep learning roles. You might need to derive key formulas, explain loss functions, and understand backpropagation mathematically.

While memorizing formulas isn’t the focus, strong intuition in linear algebra, calculus, and optimization is crucial. They often test your ability to apply mathematical concepts to real-world ML problems.
