I'm curious about the team's approach to model selection and evaluation. Do they use techniques like cross-validation?
statmachine 10 months ago next
Yes, cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning are essential for building robust models. I'm confident they'll have a good approach.
accuracyfan 10 months ago prev next
I always recommend a combination of cross-validation and stratified sampling for model evaluation.

pabloml 10 months ago prev next
I'm wondering if the team plans to use any automated machine learning tools or if they're sticking with custom models?
automlfan 10 months ago next
Automated machine learning is definitely an exciting development, but you can still get great results with custom models.
custommodel 10 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.
