Foundational
Feature Engineering: Encoding, Scaling, SelectionFeature engineering is the work of turning raw columns into inputs a model can learn from: encoding categoricals, scaling numerics, and selecting which features to keep. Interviews probe it because it is the unglamorous lever that usually moves a metric more than swapping the model, and because the right choice depends on cardinality, the model family, and leakage risk rather than on a default recipe.📊 Evaluation & ML Foundations
Core
The Computer Vision PipelineA production CV system is a chain: ingest and version images, preprocess and augment, fine-tune a pretrained backbone, attach a task head, evaluate with sliced metrics, post-process, then serve and monitor. The invariant that separates working systems from broken ones is train/serve consistency: the exact resize, color space, and normalization must match at training and inference. Applied AI interviews probe this because most CV failures live at the preprocessing seam, not in the architecture.📊 Evaluation & ML FoundationsSign in
