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.
