Common Follow-up Questions

In this final part of the section, we’re reminded that **follow-up questions** in live ML interview rounds are crucial opportunities to demonstrate deeper thinking. How we respond after our initial solution can significantly elevate the impression we leave.

- When asked about **model improvement**, we show we understand what enhances performance—like adding features, collecting edge-case data, or exploring advanced models.
- Questions on **online evaluation** test our awareness of production concerns; we should mention metrics like latency, prediction confidence, user engagement, and drift monitoring.
- For **production issues**, strong answers highlight risks like distribution shift, data pipeline failures, or poor handling of unseen edge cases.
- When faced with **data challenges** (e.g., class imbalance), we demonstrate our grasp of solutions like resampling, class weighting, and choosing the right evaluation metrics.
- These follow-up answers are a prime chance to prove our **real-world awareness**, even if our initial model wasn’t perfect—they show we think like engineers, not just coders.
