Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a dataset where classes overlap heavily and contain multiple outliers. Discuss how a hard margin SVM would perform in this situation and suggest an alternative model.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about flexibility versus rigidity in classifiers.

Question 2

Imagine you are tasked with classifying a dataset representing customer feedback with both positive and negative sentiments. Discuss the implications of using hard margin SVM.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on real-world data complexities.
