Starting the Big Data Era

  • As we have more data and more computational power new models have new capacities:
    • Flexibility
    • Internal variable selection
    • High precision of predictions
  • Most the models techniques combine hundreds or thousands of simpler models into one super-model like happens with:
    • Bagging
    • Boosting
    • Model stacking
  • Large deep-neural models may have over a billion parameters.
