Process
I was asked to solve one simple algorithmic problem.
Then, I was asked questions related to the theory of machine learning, in particular about the algorithm of logistic regression.
After the technical part, the interviewer asked me about my experience and told me about the company and the project.
Questions
-
Which loss function is used in the logistic regression algorithm?
-
Can gradient descent get stuck at a local minimum during optimization of logistic regression weights?
