Understanding Machine Learning Models

The video discusses how different machine learning models work and how to choose the right one for a specific problem. It highlights the use of neural networks at DeepMind for applications like processing satellite imagery and folding proteins. The video also covers factors to consider when selecting a model, such as data type, problem complexity, and the need for explainability. Decision trees are presented as an alternative to neural networks for more explainable decisions. The video concludes with a summary of key considerations in model selection.
