    Debug an inaccurate patient-message triage classifier service and write up fixes

    A one-hour take-home for a senior applied AI engineering role: debug a telehealth service that sorts patient messages into care categories with an urgency and a confidence score, decide when to call an LLM or send a message to manual review, and write up bugs, priorities and trade-offs. It tests debugging, safety judgment and ML evaluation.

    Solve tree partition and IPO allocation

    This question evaluates algorithmic problem-solving skills in tree processing and allocation simulations, specifically assessing understanding of subtree-sum computation for tree partitioning and deterministic round-robin allocation logic for IPO-style share distribution, along with appropriate data structure selection and correctness under edge cases. It is commonly asked in the Coding & Algorithms domain because it measures practical application-level implementation and the ability to analyze time and space complexity rather than purely conceptual proof.

    What are processes vs threads?

    This question evaluates understanding of concurrency concepts—processes versus threads—including memory/address-space management, shared-memory versus inter-process communication, performance trade-offs for CPU-bound versus I/O-bound workloads, and failure/isolation implications such as crash containment.
