So what is it?

ML-NLP is a study-and-revision collection aimed at people preparing for machine-learning, deep-learning, and natural-language-processing job interviews, particularly in China. The author treats it as foundational theory an algorithm engineer is expected to know, arranged in numbered modules so a reader can dip in for review or work through as a curriculum. Each chapter focuses on a topic interviews tend to probe, and most chapters end with hands-on code that connects the math to a working implementation. The machine-learning module covers classic supervised methods: linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, gradient-boosted trees, XGBoost, LightGBM, and support vector machines, followed by probabilistic graphical models (Bayesian networks, Markov, topic models), expectation-maximization, clustering, feature engineering, and k-nearest neighbours. The deep-learning module walks through neural networks, convolutional networks, recurrent networks, GRUs, LSTMs, transfer learning, reinforcement learning, and optimization. The NLP module covers word embeddings (Word2Vec, fastText, GloVe), text-classification models like textRNN and textCNN, seq2seq, attention, and the Transformer family including BERT and XLNet. A projects section sketches applied examples: recommendation, intelligent customer service, knowledge graphs, and sentiment analysis. Someone would use this repository to refresh interview topics quickly, build a personal knowledge map, or fill gaps before tackling a specific algorithm. The materials are Markdown explanations alongside Jupyter Notebooks for code, and the project is updated continuously and welcomes contributions.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I have an ML interview next week and need to review gradient-boosted trees quickly. Walk me through the XGBoost content from ml-nlp and quiz me on the key concepts.
Prompt 2
Help me understand the Transformer architecture using the ml-nlp study materials. Explain attention mechanisms in plain English and show me the key equations.
Prompt 3
I am weak on probabilistic graphical models for a data science interview. Using ml-nlp as a reference, explain Bayesian networks and Markov models with simple examples.
Prompt 4
How does ml-nlp cover BERT and XLNet? Summarize the key differences between the two and what interview questions each model tends to generate.
