Two phases: ------- General ML phase + code ------- General questions about ML: * Logistic Regression * Unbalanced binary classification problema * Metrics for Information Retrieval .... + Coding problem in front of engineer, leetcode medium level and discuss computational complexity of the proposed solution (time and space). ------- ML in depth + Amazon Leadership Principles------- (Based on the roles, mine was NLP) * The transformer model * Multihead attention * BERT and RoBERTa + STAR format questions about the ALP.
