A lot of thee c folks aren't tech folks or even math folks. They want to try to use deep learning to do prediction or get some insight when something as simple as regression would have worked.
- Barrin92 6y agowhat's particularly surprised me is how effective gradient boosting is in practise. I've seen so many cases of real world applications where just using catboost or whatever worked ~95% as well or even just as well as some super complicated deep learning approach and it saves you ten times the cost
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoTo be fair, if you're willing to write code to perform feature engineering for you, you can often replace the complicated boosting approach with a much simpler regression model. Turtles all the way down, I guess.
