Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a dataset with both overlapping and clear separations, outline the approach you would take using SVM, specifying when to use hard margin versus soft margin.

💡 Hint: Consider how you would assess data separability.

Challenge 2 Hard

How might the choice of the kernel function influence the effectiveness of SVM classification? Discuss the implications of non-linear versus linear kernels.

💡 Hint: Reflect on your understanding of different types of kernels in practice.
