Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are given a dataset with a high number of features. Describe how increasing dimensions might impact the choice of 'K' and suggest methods to address this.
💡 Hint: Consider how distance measures may become ineffective as dimensions rise.
After choosing 'K', you notice that your KNN model performs poorly on unseen data. What steps would you take to reassess your choice of 'K'?
💡 Hint: Why might you adjust your approach based on validation scores?
