In the rapidly evolving field of Machine Learning , selecting the most appropriate model for a given dataset is crucial. Understanding the characteristics of a dataset can significantly influence the outcomes of predictive modeling efforts, making the study of the properties of the dataset an essential component of data science. This study investigates the possibilities of using simulated human data for personalized applications, specifically for testing clustering approaches. In particular, the study focuses on the relationship between dataset characteristics and the selection of the optimal classification model for clusters of datasets. The results of this study provide critical insights for researchers and practitioners in machine learning, emphasizing the importance of dataset characteristics and variability in building and selecting robust models for diverse data conditions. The use of human simulation data provide valuable insights but requires further refinement to capture the full variability of real-world conditions.

Graph data is present everywhere and has vast ranging applications from finding the common interests of people to the optimization of road traffic. Due to the interconnectedness of nodes in graphs, training neural networks on graphs can be done in two settings: in transductive learning, the model can have access to the test features in the training phase; in the inductive setting, the test data remains unseen. We explore the differences between inductive and transductive learning on real citation networks when the graphs are converted to undirected graphs. We find that the models achieve better accuracy in the transductive setting than in the inductive setting, but that the gap between validation and test accuracy is also higher, which indicates the models trained in an inductive setting have better generalization capabilities.
