Question 1

What is a hyperplane in SVM?

  • A linear equation
  • A decision boundary
  • A support vector

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, it acts as a fence between different groups.

Question 2

True or False: A hard margin SVM can handle noisy data effectively.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider strict separation requirements.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a dataset of several entities that overlap significantly, and you want to classify them using SVMs. Outline the steps you'd take to ensure optimal classification performance, including discussing the choice of margin type.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the trade-off between strict separation and generalization.

Question 2

Create a comparative analysis of how different kernel types (linear, polynomial, RBF) could handle a dataset that's visually described as concentric circles.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize the problem - how can the shapes escalate into higher dimensions?
