Global Big Data Conference

While the comparison table in this article applies to a specific problem in FinTech, the conclusions are consistent with findings in other frameworks. There is no single method that outperforms all the other ones, for obvious reasons. To be the global winner means winning on all potential datasets. The immense majority of datasets are pure noise, for which performance is meaningless, and the winner randomly changes from one dataset to another. Yet, in real-life applications, each dataset comes with patterns or meaningful signal.
