Data Scientists Take the Wrong Exit

LEFT EXIT 12 LOGISTIC REGRESSION AND DECISION TREES THAT WORK PRETTY WELL DEEP LEARNING THAT WE BARELY UNDERSTAND WITH A 1% ACCURACY LIT DATA SCIENTISTS

A blue car marked “DATA SCIENTISTS” swerves across a highway exit while the road signs represent logistic regression, decision trees, and deep learning. The joke is that data scientists abandon understandable models for complicated deep learning systems they barely understand, even when the results are terrible. This meme is used sarcastically when someone chooses an unnecessarily complex technical solution.
