1. Which explanation matches separate classes with a margin?A. A margin-based classifier looks for a separating boundary with room around it.B. A soft margin allows some violations while controlling their penalty.C. A kernel defines similarity as if comparing features in a richer space without building every coordinate explicitly.D. Model selection compares generalization, latency, and maintenance, not just training fit.

2. Which explanation matches soft margins and difficult points?A. A margin-based classifier looks for a separating boundary with room around it.B. A kernel defines similarity as if comparing features in a richer space without building every coordinate explicitly.C. Model selection compares generalization, latency, and maintenance, not just training fit.D. A soft margin allows some violations while controlling their penalty.

3. Which explanation matches a kernel as a similarity rule?A. A margin-based classifier looks for a separating boundary with room around it.B. A soft margin allows some violations while controlling their penalty.C. A kernel defines similarity as if comparing features in a richer space without building every coordinate explicitly.D. Model selection compares generalization, latency, and maintenance, not just training fit.

4. For soft margins and difficult points, which result or action fits this practical case: A few mislabeled trips lie on the wrong side of the boundary.A. Compare two candidate lines and prefer the one with useful clearance on training points.B. Tune the trade-off between a wide margin and training violations on validation data.C. Compare a linear kernel and a radial kernel on the same validation split.D. Choose between linear and nonlinear classifiers with grouped or time-aware validation.

5. For compare linear and nonlinear boundaries, which result or action fits this practical case: The curved boundary looks much better on training deliveries.A. Choose between linear and nonlinear classifiers with grouped or time-aware validation.B. Compare two candidate lines and prefer the one with useful clearance on training points.C. Tune the trade-off between a wide margin and training violations on validation data.D. Compare a linear kernel and a radial kernel on the same validation split.
