面试指南

• For algorithm design questions, start with problem definition, then propose a baseline solution, discuss improvements, and consider scalability.
• For theoretical questions, connect concepts to real-world implications (e.g., auction mechanisms affect advertiser behavior and revenue).
• Use the STAR method for behavioral questions: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
• How would you design a CTR prediction model for an ad system?
• Explain the difference between first-price and second-price auctions in ad bidding.
• How can large language models be used to improve ad relevance?
• Describe a time you optimized an algorithm for performance. What trade-offs did you consider?
• What is your approach to handling data sparsity in recommendation systems?
