Knowledge-base vs. Data-driven
 Knowledge-based approaches
 Intuitive
 Dependent on designer’s knowledge
 Difficult to justify or improve
 Data-driven approaches
 Learn from data
 Requires training data
 Given training data, easy to (re)build
 Difficult to understand trained model
 Given sufficient training samples,
 Data-driven approach > knowledge-based approach
