### When to give up CNN? [duplicate]

i'm implementing my first CNN for image classification in a field with very few research. I'm aware i could extract feature and then try SVM, knn... But i want to be sure CNN is not a viable ...

### Why isn't accuracy of binary classification model improving? [duplicate]

I have a data set with a binary response variable, about 30,000 observations of 8 features, some are continuous and some are categorical. This is an imbalanced data set, the ratio of negatives to ...

### Industry vs Kaggle challenges. Is collecting more observations and having access to more variables more important than fancy modelling?

I'd hope the title is self explanatory. In Kaggle, most winners use stacking with sometimes hundreds of base models, to squeeze a few extra % of MSE, accuracy... In general, in your experience, how ...

### Is my model any good, based on the diagnostic metric ($R^2$/ AUC/ accuracy/ RMSE etc.) value?

I've fitted my model and am trying to understand whether it's any good. I've calculated the recommended metrics to assess it ($R^2$/ AUC / accuracy / prediction error / etc) but do not know how to ...
