Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a dataset with overlapping classes, explain how you would proceed with model selection and justify your choice based on the characteristics of Decision Trees and SVMs.

💡 Hint: Think about how each model reacts to noise in data.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a plan to handle overfitting in a Decision Tree model. What steps would include, and what parameters would you tune?

💡 Hint: Consider what 'pruning' means in the context of a tree.
