Problem

Why did you choose this specific model for your past ML project instead of a simpler alternative, and what were the trade-offs and evaluation approach?

Asked in the Round 2 stage. Deep dive into past projects evaluating model selection choices, trade-offs, and evaluation strategies.

Discuss one real project. Explain the problem and constraints, compare your selected model with at least one simpler alternative, describe offline and online evaluation, and identify what you would change with more data, compute, or time.
