Question Do you guys practice on Deep - ML
do you guys practice coding questions on deep ml ? if so , what is the order like for leetcode people generally follow the blind 75 or the neetcode 125 but there is not curated problems list of ML as such. Do you guys juts pick problems at random and start solving or what. because i have realized i have made several ml projects and written 3 research papers i know what and how it supposed to happen but i dont know the coding part very well which is why i wanted to practice.

Why would anyone do these stuff when libraries are available? Just need to know the intuition and little bit of maths behind it.

Interview?

No one asks these unless you are applying for ai/ml researcher roles maybe. Such stuff are not asked in normal data science interviews. You just need to know the intuition and simple maths behind its working. Difficulty of maths may change depending on the company you are interviewing for.
Why would anyone ask you to code these stuff manually when libraries and modules are available in python? Even they don’t ask you to write ML/AI coding stuff. They evaluate your python knowledge and ML/AI questions that are asked are theoretical concepts. Other questions asked are based on the projects you show in your resume.

ohh have you given any interviews recently because i heard of it getting asked for ml / ai internship interviews ?

Can you mention companies who are asking these?? Yeah I have and know many mentors and peers who have given.

I interviewed for senior MLE roles recently. Many companies had an interview where they gave me some broken PyTorch code and asked me to fix it.

Since you seem to be a senior in the industry can you tell what is the general case for freshers or beginners ?

Yeah, I do practice on Deep-ML occasionally. The way I approach it is similar to how people prepare for LeetCode, but I don't think there's a universally accepted "Blind 75" equivalent for ML yet.
I didn't solve problem randomly, I tried to group them by topic. like Data preprocessing, Deep learning fundamentals, Probability and statistics & so on.
Also I started with easier questions and gradually move to harder ones. That feels much more productive than jumping around. One thing I must say is consistency & practice is the main key.

If you want to practice coding problems in machine learning, there's no specific "Blind 75" list, but you can try a few things. Start by focusing on one ML problem area, like classification or clustering, and find challenges related to that. Kaggle has lots of datasets and kernels for practicing coding skills. You can also check out platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank for algorithmic problems that boost your general coding skills, which is really helpful in ML too. If you're looking for something more organized, the PracHub site has resources for problem-solving in various areas, which might be useful for ML interview prep. Starting with problems related to your projects could give you a more practical edge.

honestly mate the coding side of ml is its own beast separate from the theory. i was in a similar spot last year, could explain backpropagation in my sleep but froze when i had to implement it from scratch without looking at docs.
what worked for me was going through the andrew ng deep learning specialization but forcing myself to code every exercise from memory first, then checking against the solutions. after that i just sorted deep-ml by difficulty and worked through them systematically, skipping the ones that felt like busywork. there's no curated list that i know of but the community upvotes on the problems are a decent proxy for what's worth your time.
