Two Sigma Quant Research Interview
I have an upcoming interview for quant research intern position. What kind of questions should I expect as an undergrad CS (math minor) student? I saw on glassdoor that they tend to ask machine learning questions. Does anyone know of any books/websites to prepare for these kind of questions. Most of the CS classes I've taken so far at my university were very theoretical

I would study linear models very very in depth: think about edge cases, limits, what happens to the optimization problem when you put weird data in, different scales, distributions of independent variables, etc. When I interviewed the scope was narrow but it got very deep
Thank you!
If you haven't done ML then don't try to fake it. Get a rock-solid understanding of linear and logistic regression. Good statistics knowledge >>> plugging things into ML models.
I have done a lot of ML through the statistics courses that I've taken at my university and during a previous internship. So I have a solid grasp of the fundamental models. I'm just not sure what kind of questions they would be throwing at an undergrad and what topics I need to review
