Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a dataset with overlapping classes, determine whether a hard margin or soft margin SVM would yield better results. Justify your choice.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of misclassifications in relation to class overlap.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain the trade-offs involved when pruning a Decision Tree. How does it impact model performance?

💡 Hint: Focus on the balance between detail and generalization of the model.
