4th onsite interview: Technical question How would you improve amazon's core services using computer vision techniques. The question actually overlapped with the discussion with the 2nd interviewer, so I had to come up with a different novel idea. Coding question For a list of rectangles/subarrays find the average of each one on a 2D Matrix
