- minimaxir 10y agoThe flowchart predates NNs/GBTs which are Swiss-army knives, which is another reason why using either of them is sometimes considered cheating.
- Houshalter 10y agoNNs are much older than this chart. They aren't terribly good at problems like this because they tend to overfit more than other methods. They need lots of data to generalize well. They only really excel when the data has regular structure that can be exploited by weight sharing (like CNNs to images or RNNs to time series.)
