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.
💡 Hint: Think about the trade-off between strict separation and generalization.
Create a comparative analysis of how different kernel types (linear, polynomial, RBF) could handle a dataset that's visually described as concentric circles.
💡 Hint: Visualize the problem - how can the shapes escalate into higher dimensions?
