Ace your Machine Learning Interview - Part 1

These days I am having several interviews in the field of Machine Learning as I have moved abroad and need to look for a new job. Big companies and small startups always want to make sure you know the fundamentals of Machine Learning, and so I'm using some of my time going over the basics again. So I decided to share a series of articles about what you need to know to deal with interviews in Machine Learning hoping it will help some of you as well. When we talk about Linear Regression, we have a set of points that for ease you can think of plotted on a plane in 2 dimensions (x: feature, y: label) and we want to fit these points with a straight line. That is, we want to find that straight line that passes right'between' the points as in the figure above.
