When to Avoid Deep Learning

This article is intended for data scientists who may consider using deep learning algorithms, and want to know more about the cons of implementing these type of models into your work. Deep learning algorithms have many benefits, are powerful, and can be fun to show off. However, there are a few times when you should avoid them. I will be discussing those times when you should stop using deep learning below, so keep on reading if you would like a deeper dive into deep learning. Because other algorithms have been around longer, they have countless amounts of documentation, including examples and functions that make interpretability easier.
