Top Data, AI & ML Interview Q&A Showcase

Q1: Bias-Variance Tradeoff

Q: How do you handle the Bias-Variance tradeoff when tuning Deep Neural Networks?

[ ARCHITECT ANSWER ]
High bias leads to underfitting (model too simple), while high variance leads to overfitting (model fails to generalize). In deep learning, bias is reduced by increasing model capacity (more layers/neurons), while variance is controlled via Regularization (L2, Dropout), Data Augmentation, Early Stopping, and Batch Normalization.

Q2: Vector Database Indexing

Q: Explain HNSW vs IVF indexing algorithms in Vector Databases for RAG.

[ ARCHITECT ANSWER ]
HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) builds a multi-layer graph providing extremely high recall and low search latency at the cost of higher RAM usage. IVF (Inverted File Index) partitions vector space into Voronoi cells, reducing memory overhead but requiring query probing across multiple clusters.

Q3: Spark Skewed Joins

Q: How do you resolve Data Skew in Apache Spark SQL join operations?

[ ARCHITECT ANSWER ]
Data skew occurs when one partition receives disproportionately more rows than others. Solutions include Broadcast Joins for small dimension tables, Salting keys (adding random prefix/suffix to distribute skewed keys), and enabling Spark 3 Adaptive Query Execution (AQE) skew join optimization.
