90% of the problems can be solved by not fucking up your data, modeling your tables correctly, and a SQL query.

Of the 10% that can't be solved that way, 90% are solved with data cleaning + a linear model.

Of the 1% that can't be solved either way, 90% are solved with other statistical techniques (timeseries modeling, decision trees and so on).

For the remaining .1%, sure, deep learning I guess.

You keep making these very negative posts, where you sound very confident, but resort to either word salad or making things up.

And getting a pony.

87% of statistics are made up.

But why?

Why do you think this post is "negative"? "Negative" towards what?

> 87% of statistics are made up.

Yes, of course, I didn't mean "lower integer part of nine tenths of the total number of problems". Did that really need to be specified?

> But why?

Is it really controversial that you should go for the simplest model that works?

And what of the 0.01% that deep learning is unable to solve?

For structured data this is valid, but the power of deep learning is for unstructured data where the embeddings and features need to be learned from raw data

90% of what problems?

I guarantee that 90% of the things I want to do have nothing to do with a table lookup.

Really? Can SQL queries do image recognition? How about self driving or, more recently, natural language processing?
