Q: Given a function with inputs --an array with N randomly sorted numbers, and an int K, return output in an array with the K largest numbers. Q: 1. How does GMM/HMM work 2. Name some dimensional reduction method; I said PCA and we talked a bit about how PCA works and what's the physical intuiation 3. How K-means work, what kind of distance metric would you choose, what if different features have different dynamic range 4. How GMM works (EM algorithm)
