Saurabh S. - "Basic Approach As BST inorder traversal will result in a sequence of increasing order. Store that order in a vector and get the k-1 index to get the Kth smallest element, similarly access the N-K+1 th element will be the Kth largest element Time Complexity: O(n) Space Complexity O(n) Space Optimized Approach For Kth smallest , start inorder traversal, and keep a counter, decrement the counter when you access the node element. When the counter turns 0 that elementwill be the Kth smal"See full answer

This may inform the types of transformations we do the dataset. I can see two approaches to training Given the labels we do have, we can find a method to generate labels for the other unlabeled data.
