Question 1

What does the margin in SVMs represent?

  • Distance between classes
  • Distance between support vectors
  • Distance between hyperplane and nearest data points

πŸ’‘ Hint: It's about the closest points to the boundary.

Question 2

True or False: Decision Trees are highly interpretable models.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how easy it is to follow the path of decisions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with classifying a highly non-linear dataset. Which SVM kernel would you select, and why? Discuss the decision-making process.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the shape of the data!

Question 2

Consider a Decision Tree classifier that shows a high training accuracy but low test accuracy. What steps could you take to improve its performance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how to simplify the tree!
