Question 1.
What is a key advantage of using SVM?
Show hintHide hint
Think about scenarios where many features are present.
Question 2.
Name a disadvantage of SVM.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the resources needed to process large amounts of data.
3Question 3.
Which of the following is NOT a benefit of SVM?
- High-dimensional data handling
- Small dataset suitability
- Low computational cost
Show hintHide hint
Consider the trade-off between performance and resource use.
4Question 4.
True or False: SVMs work poorly with noisy datasets.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall how noise affects any classification model.
Question 5.
Given a dataset with many features, classify the potential drawbacks of using SVM if high accuracy is needed? Discuss how you might preprocess the data to mitigate these drawbacks.
Show hintHide hint
Think about what steps prepare the data for a smoother SVM operation.
Question 6.
Assess the performance differences when applying SVM to a high-dimensional dataset compared to a low-dimensional dataset. What factors contribute to these differences?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how dimensionality influences the classification versus the sample size.
