When to Develop Custom Models

Custom models are typically developed when there is a need for a specific solution that off-the-shelf models cannot provide. They are often used when:

• The problem is unique to the business or industry.
• There is a need for a high level of accuracy or customization.
• There is proprietary data that can be leveraged.

How Custom Models Work

Custom models are developed using machine learning algorithms. They are trained on a dataset, learn from this data, and then apply what they’ve learned to make predictions or decisions.

Benefits of Custom Models

• Tailored to specific needs and requirements.
• Can leverage proprietary data for competitive advantage.
• Can often achieve higher performance metrics.

Limitations of Custom Models

• Require significant time and resources to develop.
• Need expertise in machine learning and data science.
• Risk of overfitting to the training data.

Features of Custom Models

• Can be designed to handle specific types of data (e.g., text, images, etc.).
• Can incorporate business rules or constraints.
• Can be continuously updated and improved as more data becomes available.
