Everything on Modeling Strategy

Linear baselines often perform comparably to complex deep learning models for simple tasks, but nonlinear models are essential for complex perturbation prediction. This highlights the importance of matching model complexity to data scale and task difficulty.

Impact: Prevents over-engineering and resource waste, allowing companies to focus on data quality and scale rather than unnecessary architectural complexity.
