Advantages and disadvantages of machine learning models
| Model type | Advantages | Disadvantages | Contexts of best performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Random Forest | High accuracy, robustness to overfitting, handles both numerical and categorical data | High computational cost, less interpretable | Works well with structured data and mixed types |
| DCNNs | Effective with structured data, high predictive performance, good at recognizing spatial patterns | High computational requirements, needs large datasets | Suitable for image-based tasks |
| CapsNet | Captures spatial hierarchies, robust to variations, dynamic routing for better feature selection | Complex architecture, difficult to train, high computational resources needed | Effective for image recognition with spatial relationships |
| RNNs with LSTM | Handles sequential data, retains long-term dependencies, effective for time-series data | Computationally intensive, requires large training data, difficult to interpret | Best for time-series predictions and data with temporal dependencies |
| CNNs | Excellent at feature extraction and image analysis, scalable, handles high-dimensional data well | Requires large datasets, susceptible to overfitting if not properly regularized | Ideal for image-based tasks and spatial data |
