The Best Machine Learning Algorithm

Last Updated on August 12, 2019

What is the best machine learning algorithm? I get this question a lot. Maybe even daily.

Sometimes it’s a general question. I figure people want to make sure they are learning the one true machine learning algorithm and not wasting their time on anything less.

Most other times it is with regard to a specific problem.

I think it’s a very good question, a very telling question. It tells me straight away that a required shift in thinking has not occurred.

I can yell from the roof tops all day long: “there is no best algorithm“, but that is not helpful.

In this post I want to provide you some tools to help you start to make the required shift in thinking away from a single best solution.

Kick-start your project with my new book Master Machine Learning Algorithms, including step-by-step tutorials and the Excel Spreadsheet files for all examples.
