About the Scikit-learn test

Scikit-learn is an open-source machine-learning library for Python that provides a range of supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms for data mining and data analysis. It is built on top of other Python libraries, such as NumPy and Pandas, and integrates well with the rest of the scientific Python ecosystem (such as TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, and Matplotlib for visualization). As such, Scikit-learn is widely used in industry and academia for tasks such as classification, regression, clustering, and dimensionality reduction. It provides a consistent interface to various algorithms and makes it easy to compare and evaluate different models.

Hiring a developer well versed in Scikit-learn can enable your business to leverage the power of machine learning to improve decision-making, automate repetitive tasks, and gain valuable insights from data, from customer segmentation to fraud detection and demand forecasting.

This Scikit-learn test assesses candidates’ ability to train and evaluate linear models and advanced supervised and unsupervised learning models with Scikit-learn. In addition, it also examines candidates’ ability to use Scikit-learn's pipelines, data processing, and computing functionalities to ensure data is cleaned and transformed and to build accurate and robust models that can be used for prediction, analysis, and decision-making.

Candidates who perform well on this test will have the core Scikit-learn skills necessary to leverage the power of machine learning to help your business improve decision-making, automate repetitive tasks, and gain valuable insights from data.

Gary R.

Gary has been working in the data science field for more than three years and is proficient in the fields of machine learning and data analysis. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and a Master’s degree in Computer Science. The combination of those two fields helps Gary to achieve even greater results.

He is fond of computer science and loves to work on projects related to Artificial Intelligence which is, in his opinion, the future of our world.

Crafted with expert knowledge

TestGorilla’s tests are created by subject matter experts. We assess potential subject-matter experts based on their knowledge, ability, and reputation. Before being published, each test is peer-reviewed by another expert, then calibrated using hundreds of test takers with relevant experience in the subject.

Our feedback mechanisms and unique algorithms allow our subject-matter experts to constantly improve their tests.

What our customers are saying

TestGorilla helps me to assess engineers rapidly. Creating assessments for different positions is easy due to pre-existing templates. You can create an assessment in less than 2 minutes. The interface is intuitive and it’s easy to visualize results per assessment.

Review from G2

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
