Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a dataset that includes various wine properties and you suspect that there may be underlying segments (clusters) of wines that are significantly different. How would you implement a DPMM to analyze this dataset?

💡 Hint: Consider how you would iteratively improve your understanding of the dataset.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine you are tasked with informing a company about customer segments using survey data. What considerations should you make regarding the number of clusters when applying DPMMs?

💡 Hint: Think about how behavior might differ across different segments.
