Kindly download the modified version of Iris dataset from this link. Available at:
(https://goo.gl/vchhsd (https://goo.gl/vchhsd)) The dataset contains 150 points, and each input
point has 4 features and belongs to one among three classes. Use the first 100 points as the
training data and the remaining 50 as test data. In the following questions, to report accuracy,
use the test dataset. You can round off the accuracy value to the nearest 2-decimal point
number. (Note: Do not change the order of data points.)

7) Train a Linear perceptron classifier on the modified iris dataset. We recommend 2 points
using sklearn. Use only the first two features for your model and report the best classification
accuracy for l1 and l2 penalty terms.

Use only the first three features. We encourage you to explore the impact of varying different
hyperparameters of the model. Specifically try different kernels and the associated

hyperparameters RBF-kernel, gamma = 0.5, one-vs-rest classifier, no-feature-normalization.
Try C = 0.01, 1, 10. For the above set of hyperparameters, report the best classification
