$\text{AI Interview}$

Experience shared by Jayant Priyadarhi:

• Interviewer - What is your favorite subject?
• Me - Linear Algebra and probability
• 1. Go to the board and Draw 2 independent vectors in the plane of the board.
• Me - drawn
• 2. After I drew. Why do you think these 2 are independent?
• Me - Because had they been dependent, they would have been on the same line.
• 3. Prove the statement you just made
• Me - Proved.
• 4. They dictated 2 A,B matrices where few rows were interchanged . Give a matrix X such that multiplying it to one gives another. Also, write the equation.
• 5. What are eigen vectors and what is their geometric significance?
• Me - told
• 6. How will you derive the characteristic equation explain with reference to null space of the matrix?
• Me - told.
• 7. If the matrix is symmetric , what can u say about its eigen vectors?
• Me - told only one fact and they were expecting 2. Gave some more info but couldn't reach the second fact. By this time I wanted the inflow of linear algebra questions to end, and it ended thankfully and the profs looked satisfied.
• After this 2-3 minutes of easy questions from dynamic programming like give an example of repeating sub problems and all.. And finally I was told to write a function which returns the next biggest number in an array given an element of the same array. It was simple and I wrote in O(n) .. they asked me about complexity and I told. Then I was asked to leave.
• Hope this helps..
• thank u all of u ..
