Simple Handwritten Character Recognition Classifier
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 5 minutes
In this challenge, we will be implementing a simple handwritten character recognition classifier. Using the DIGITS dataset provided by the scikit-learn library, we will build a function that can classify a single sample of a handwritten character image. The objective is to create a function that takes in a list representing the pixel values of the image and returns the predicted label for the character. The function should achieve a cross-validated classification accuracy of at least 80% on the DIGITS dataset.

Credit Card Holder Risk Prediction
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 5 minutes
In this challenge, we will build a machine learning classification model to predict the credit card holder’s risk status based on their historical billing information, age, gender, education level, and marital status. The objective is to achieve an accuracy of at least 0.8 on the testing dataset. We will be using the provided training dataset to train the model and then make predictions on the testing dataset. Therefore, we need to preprocess the data using Pandas and utilize the classification prediction models provided by scikit-learn. The final prediction results should be stored in the credit_risk_pred.csv data file, where each record corresponds to a predicted risk status.

Classifying Iris Using SVM
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 20 minutes
In this project, you will learn how to classify the iris dataset using a Support Vector Classifier (SVC) model. The iris dataset is a classic machine learning dataset that contains information about different species of irises, including their sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width.
