Simple Models vs Complex Models
Developers should learn and use Simple Models when starting a machine learning project to establish a performance baseline, for quick prototyping, or in regulated industries like finance or healthcare where model interpretability is required by law meets developers should learn about complex models when working on projects involving advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, or large-scale simulations, as they enable tackling problems with nuanced patterns that simpler models cannot capture. Here's our take.
Simple Models
Developers should learn and use Simple Models when starting a machine learning project to establish a performance baseline, for quick prototyping, or in regulated industries like finance or healthcare where model interpretability is required by law
Simple Models
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Simple Models when starting a machine learning project to establish a performance baseline, for quick prototyping, or in regulated industries like finance or healthcare where model interpretability is required by law
Pros
- +They are also ideal for small datasets, real-time applications with limited computational resources, or when stakeholders need clear insights into how predictions are made
- +Related to: machine-learning, statistical-modeling
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Complex Models
Developers should learn about complex models when working on projects involving advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, or large-scale simulations, as they enable tackling problems with nuanced patterns that simpler models cannot capture
Pros
- +For example, in natural language processing, complex models like transformers are essential for tasks like machine translation or sentiment analysis
- +Related to: machine-learning, deep-learning
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Simple Models if: You want they are also ideal for small datasets, real-time applications with limited computational resources, or when stakeholders need clear insights into how predictions are made and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Complex Models if: You prioritize for example, in natural language processing, complex models like transformers are essential for tasks like machine translation or sentiment analysis over what Simple Models offers.
