Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze how different kernel choices (linear, RBF, polynomial) affect the performance of SVM on a dataset. Provide examples of datasets that may benefit from each kernel.

💡 Hint: Think about the nature of the data you're dealing with.

Challenge 2 Hard

Propose a real-world application where the kernel trick can drastically improve model performance. Discuss the data characteristics that make this application suitable.

💡 Hint: Consider applications where patterns are not strictly linear.
