Understanding and Comparing AI Models: Strengths and Weaknesses

There are many aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) that are advancing at a very fast pace, and new models are invariably designed for various functions. Each comes with its strengths and weaknesses and knowing these variations is very important for anyone who wants to work with the development of the AI systems. I am concerned about the outline of AI advancement and do believe I must examine those models in detail to weigh their advantages and disadvantages.

1. Linear Regression Models

The term “linear regression” refers to the simplest classification of models in AI, which is often utilized in forecast analysis. The model assumes a straight line between the input and output variables. Although it is mostly used as an introductory example in machine learning, its effectiveness is sometimes a pro, while other times a con as well.

Advantages:

  • Interpretability: Linear regression is very interpretable. I can clearly see how each input feature contributes to the output. This is an advantage when the model’s predictions have to be justified to different stakeholders.
  • Speed: Since it involves simple mathematical operations, even a complex dataset does not deter the speed of training linear regression models.
