Question 1
Q: What is the specific operation of self-attention?
I interviewed at Alibaba Group (Hangzhou, Zhejiang)
Interview
The interview was conducted entirely through a series of online meetings, during which the interviewers asked me detailed questions about my background, my research experience, and specific knowledge in machine learning algorithms and applications
The interview lasts about an hour. Lots of basic questions about programming are asked, but I cannot answer because I have already forgotten those concepts and principles. My previous projects and research experience are also asked.
