Behavioral Technical Presentation
Applied online and got a call from HR about a month later to discuss things like salary expectations. The next day, I got a written assignment. Then, about a week and a half later, I had a panel interview with some deans and a manager. The deans really grilled me, and I had to work hard to convince them I was the right fit. They also asked a lot of questions specific to the job. HR called to give me a verbal offer a few days later. I received the full package and written offer about a month after that.

Coding Technical
Had a code interview where the task was to train a small MLP network to reconstruct an image within 30 mins on Google Colab. It's a coordinate-based implicit neural representation where a small MLP takes pixel coordinates as input and regresses RGB values. Positional encoding on coordinates was used to improve high-frequency reconstruction. Time was very limited for training.

Nanyang Technological University Interview Questions
Quoted word for word from Nanyang Technological University interview reports.
“When twilight arrived, a whisper floated through the meadow, bringing the smell of frost and the gleam of far-off lanterns. A willow tree swayed softly, its branches twisted like a lost puzzle. Underneath it, a little locket was concealed in the soft grass, shining with a faint light. The horizon glowed with the color of embers, creating long shadows that moved like an illusion. An ancient tale mentioned a cloak made of runes, which was said to guard its wearer as they sailed across the harbor of forgotten echoes. Above, a clear moon circled in quiet dignity, while thunder growled like a warning. She moved forward, pulled by a light that flickered in the darkness, her route twisting through a circle of old trees towards a hidden sanctuary where mysteries were guarded, and time itself started to revolve again.”
