Novel Method and Algorithm Proposal Questions

Evaluates the candidate ability to propose and justify new algorithms, models, or architectural innovations for applied problems. Candidates should clearly state the proposed idea, give intuition and theoretical or empirical motivation, analyze computational and memory complexity, describe expected strengths and failure modes, and provide an experimental validation plan including baselines and ablation studies. The topic also covers assessing implementation complexity, resource needs, and deployment risks so that the proposal can be judged for feasibility and impact.
