PICTURE THIS: DATA SPLIT

Train 70%Val 15%Test 15%

Fit on train, tune on val, report on test once.

Simple meaning

Tracking records experiments and runs: metrics, params, and artifacts.

WHY — MLflow instead of guessing?

Why interviewers care about MLflow:

They want a clean

contrast on MLflow, not two memorised paragraphs.

Say what changes for

the developer, then one case where picking wrong hurts.

Stay structured

Name the idea, why it exists, then one short example.

Close cleanly

End with when you use it and one common pitfall.

STEPS — What happens step by step?

Before you speak the answer, walk the interviewer through these steps:

1
Tracking records experiments and
runs: metrics, params, and artifacts.
2
The registry is the
curated catalog of models with versions and stages such as Staging or Production.
3
How it works
You train many runs
4
you register few that
might actually ship.
5
Common mistake
What juniors usually get wrong.
6
Close
When you pick this over the alternative.
