Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a dataset with overlapping classes and noise. How would you design an SVM model to ensure good generalization?

💡 Hint: Think about balancing between margin width and acceptable errors.

Challenge 2 Hard

You have to classify images of handwritten digits that are not easily separable. Which kernel would you choose and why?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how digit shapes may overlap when visualized in feature space.
