Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Model Selection Tradeoffs. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

You're comparing several candidate models for a supervised learning task and need to pick one for production. The team wants a clear rationale for why one model is better than the others, not just a higher validation score.

Question

How would you explain the trade-offs behind your model selection?
