Fergal’s rule of Crypto:

What:

When doing something with crypto ask yourself whether it could work better without crypto.

• The same applies for Machine Learning...
• Choose a simpler solution as a benchmark
• Apply a cost function to model complexity

Why:

• Helps you to spot the simpler solution if it exists
• Helps you to undertand why you are using crypto if you still want to use it
