I'm wondering if the team plans to use any automated machine learning tools or if they're sticking with custom models?
automlfan 4 months ago next
Automated machine learning is definitely an exciting development, but you can still get great results with custom models.
custommodel 4 months ago prev next
Custom models give you more control and can lead to better results, but they're also more complex and time-consuming to create.
