Exam AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty topic 1 question 14 discussion

A company wants to classify user behavior as either fraudulent or normal. Based on internal research, a Machine Learning Specialist would like to build a binary classifier based on two features: age of account and transaction month. The class distribution for these features is illustrated in the figure provided.

Based on this information, which model would have the HIGHEST accuracy?

  • A. Long short-term memory (LSTM) model with scaled exponential linear unit (SELU)
  • B. Logistic regression
  • C. Support vector machine (SVM) with non-linear kernel
  • D. Single perceptron with tanh activation function

Answer is C. SVM sample use case is to put the dimensions into a higher hyperplane that can separates it. Seeing how separable it is, SVM can be used for it.

Selected Answer: C
You can use a support vector machine (SVM) when your data has exactly two classes. An SVM classifies data by finding the best hyperplane that separates all data points of one class from those of the other class. The best hyperplane for an SVM means the one with the largest margin between the two classes. Margin means the maximal width of the slab parallel to the hyperplane that has no interior data points.
