Question 1

Consider a dataset where points are arranged in a circular pattern. Explain how you would apply SVM with the Kernel Trick to classify this data.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what kernel to use for circular data.

Question 2

Discuss a scenario where choosing the wrong kernel might lead to poor model performance in SVM. Provide reasoning for your example.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how linear boundaries are ineffective in non-linear scenarios.
