Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a dataset where points are arranged in a circular pattern. Explain how you would apply SVM with the Kernel Trick to classify this data.

💡 Hint: Think about what kernel to use for circular data.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss a scenario where choosing the wrong kernel might lead to poor model performance in SVM. Provide reasoning for your example.

💡 Hint: Consider how linear boundaries are ineffective in non-linear scenarios.
