Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a dataset where the positive class constitutes only 5% of all instances, discuss how you would leverage the Precision-Recall Curve for evaluation. What key factors would you consider?

💡 Hint: Consider how low positive instance proportions influence threshold selection.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine you are fine-tuning a model to detect fraudulent transactions. After generating the Precision-Recall Curve, the precision sharply decreases after a recall of 80%. Describe the steps you would take to improve the model's performance.

💡 Hint: Identify if the model is overfitting or if false positives are too high for the current threshold.
