| - | Compare the accuracy of an L1 SVM to an SVM that uses RFE to select relevant features. | + | |
| - | Compare the accuracy of a regular L2 SVM trained on the features selected by the L1 SVM with the accuracy of an L2 SVM trained on all the features (compute accuracy using 5-fold cross-validation). | + | Compare the accuracy of the following approaches using cross-validation on the two datasets: |

| + | * L2 SVM trained on all the features | ||
| + | * L2 SVM that uses RFE (with an L2-SVM) to select relevant features; use the class ''RFECV'' which automatically selects the number of features. | ||
| It has been argued in the literature that L1-SVMs often leads to solutions that are too sparse. As a workaround, implement the following strategy: | It has been argued in the literature that L1-SVMs often leads to solutions that are too sparse.

| - | Submit the pdf of your report via Canvas. Python code can be displayed in your report if it is succinct (not more than a page or two at the most) or submitted separately. The latex sample document shows how to display Python code in a latex document. Code needs to be there so we can make sure that you implemented the algorithms and data analysis methodology correctly. Canvas allows you to submit multiple files for an assignment, so DO NOT submit an archive file (tar, zip, etc). Canvas will only allow you to submit pdfs (.pdf extension) or python code (.py extension). | + | Submit the pdf of your report and python code via Canvas.
