Derive the bounds for the learning rate used in Gradient Descent. Explain what a covariance matrix is and what its properties are. Given a prior and some imbalanced data, how would you design a model to address class imbalance? What is Differential Kinematics? How would you add up two Euler angles? Do they commute? What is the difference between AE and VAE? What is ELBO loss? Why do you think the depth modality is important for robotic manipulation when Diffusion Models work well enough using just RGB? How would you handle dynamic changes in the environment and partial occlusions? Explain how you would design the software stack for this new project and integrate that into the existing operating system. Would you use online training or cloud-based training? Would you use redundant sensors for backup or not? Why do you want to join a startup compared to a larger company? Where do you see yourself in 5 years and why? What responsibilities would you take up if hired as part of our small team?
