Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a dataset with overlapping classes and noise. How would you design an SVM model to ensure good generalization?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about balancing between margin width and acceptable errors.

Question 2

You have to classify images of handwritten digits that are not easily separable. Which kernel would you choose and why?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how digit shapes may overlap when visualized in feature space.
