Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a highly imbalanced dataset where the positive class occurs only 5% of the time. Describe how you would approach evaluating a model trained on this data.

💡 Hint: Consider which evaluation metrics are more informative in imbalanced cases.

Challenge 2 Hard

After evaluating your model on a held-out test set, you notice a significant drop in recall compared to your validation set. What might be the reasons for this, and how would you investigate further?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how data distribution impacts model performance.
