Question 1.
What is the purpose of the Kernel Trick in SVM?
Show hintHide hint
Think about separating classes that aren't easily distinguishable.
Question 2.
True or False: A linear kernel can be used for non-linear data.
Show hintHide hint
Remember what types of data are suitable for linear kernels.
3Question 3.
What does the Kernel Trick allow SVM to do?
- Increase the number of features
- Map data to higher dimensions
- Remove noise from data
Show hintHide hint
Consider how SVMs handle complex class separations.
4Question 4.
True or False: Only linear kernels can classify in SVM.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the different kernels we discussed.
Question 5.
Given a dataset where classes are intertwined, explain how to choose between polynomial and RBF kernels.
Show hintHide hint
Think about practical test cases or examples.
Question 6.
Analyze a scenario where the Kernel Trick failed to classify data. What might have gone wrong?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what assumptions are made during classification.
