I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Alibaba Group in May 2017

There were four round interviews consisting of three Tech interviews and one behavior interview. The first of three interviews were held in three consecutive weeks, and the behavior interview was two weeks from the last tech interview. All interviews were held through the phone or wechat.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The scope of questions is very broad. I remembered there were matrix completion, MCMC, simple Bayesian reasoning, i.e, coin flip with prior, SVM, variational inference, Gradient boosting tree, and little bit deep learning knowledge. Besides, I was asked to describe one of my project with two follow up questions. What is the drawback of my model, and how to improve it.
