ML basics for AI engineers

Comes up in: AI engineering, Recruiter screen

This concept is being written. It gets the full five steps — explanation, predict, interview angle, practice with tests, and review cards. Here is exactly what it will cover, so you can study it elsewhere in the meantime.

What it covers

  • supervised vs unsupervised learning
  • train/validation/test splits
  • overfitting and underfitting
  • bias–variance in plain words
  • classic metrics (accuracy, precision, recall, F1, confusion matrix, ROC-AUC)

Words you will know

overfittingprecisionrecallF1confusion matrix

What you will practise

  • compute metrics for a small classifier by hand and in Python

Interview questions this answers

  • Explain precision and recall with an example.
