Sample-Aspect Double Descent Experiment Design

Problem Overview

Given a 4-hour take-home assignment (deliverable: presentation slides), complete three tasks: (1) Design and run an experiment that empirically demonstrates the sample-aspect double descent phenomenon in a supervised learning setting — i.e., show how test error first decreases, then increases, then decreases again as the number of training samples (or…

• 7 candidate-reported follow-ups — the exact probes interviewers asked, with the trigger for each
• The rest of the problem statement — full requirements, constraints, and edge cases
• Approach and trade-offs — what passing candidates did, and the mistakes that sink people
