INSIGHT

Deep Learning Is Not Always Best

  • Deep learning is not a silver bullet for every problem in machine learning.
  • Shallow learning algorithms often save time and computational resources when they fit the problem better.
ADVICE

Master Shallow Learning First

  • Learn the fundamental shallow learning algorithms first to build a solid machine learning foundation.
  • Knowing shallow algorithms helps you efficiently apply the right tool and save resources when deep learning is unsuitable.
ANECDOTE

KNN: Brainless Yet Effective

  • K Nearest Neighbors doesn't actually learn parameters but classifies by proximity to known examples.
  • It's the simplest machine learning algorithm to understand, ideal for beginners.
