Our question set is weighted to the blueprint:
| Domain | Weight | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Core Machine Learning & AI Fundamentals | 30% | The largest domain: AI vs ML vs deep learning, neural networks, supervised/unsupervised/self-supervised learning, training vs inference, and the math intuition (loss functions, gradients, backpropagation) behind how models learn. Also covers the transformer architecture and self-attention that underpin every modern LLM. Expect roughly 15 of your 50 questions here. |
| LLM Fundamentals & Prompt Engineering | 25% | How large language models work end to end: tokenization, embeddings, context windows, autoregressive next-token generation, and decoding controls like temperature and top-p. Heavy focus on prompt engineering — zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought, and system prompts — plus retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to ground responses in external data. |
| Data Analysis, Preprocessing & Feature Engineering | 15% | Preparing data for generative and ML workloads: cleaning, deduplication, normalization, handling missing values, tokenization and chunking of text, and building quality datasets. Touches data exploration, feature engineering, and GPU-accelerated data pipelines such as RAPIDS. |
| Experimentation & Model Evaluation | 15% | Designing experiments and judging model quality: train/validation/test splits, overfitting vs underfitting, and the metrics that matter for LLMs — perplexity, ROUGE, and BLEU — alongside human and LLM-as-judge evaluation. Also covers benchmarking, A/B testing, and guarding against bias and hallucination. |
| LLM Development, Integration & Deployment | 15% | Taking models to production: fine-tuning approaches (SFT, LoRA/PEFT), alignment via RLHF, and the NVIDIA serving stack — NeMo, NIM inference microservices, Triton Inference Server, and TensorRT-LLM. Includes building applications with libraries like LangChain and Hugging Face, plus guardrails and responsible deployment. |
