Decision Framework: Discriminative vs. Generative

To determine your path, follow this logic:

**Is the goal to classify or predict based on existing patterns?** → Use **Discriminative AI** (e.g., Classification, Regression, Anomaly Detection).
**Is the goal to create new content or simulate data distributions?** → Use **Generative AI** (e.g., Text Generation, Image Synthesis, Data Augmentation).
**Are you building an autonomous system?** → Evaluate **Agentic Workflow Selection**:
- If the task requires high-precision, low-latency, or structured tool-calling: Use **Small Language Models (SLMs)**.
- If the task requires broad reasoning, cross-domain abstraction, or multi-step planning: Use **Large Language Models (LLMs)** or a hybrid architecture.

Model Evaluation Metrics

To verify if your chosen algorithm is performing optimally, you must implement a rigorous evaluation strategy linked to Train, Validate, and Test workflows:

**Holdout Validation:** Split data into training and testing sets to measure generalization.
**Cross-Validation:** Use K-Fold techniques to ensure performance stability across different data subsets.
**Task-Specific Metrics:**
- Classification: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score, Confusion Matrix.
- Regression: Mean Squared Error (MSE), R-Squared.
- Agentic/Generative: Instruction-following rate, Tool-call correctness, Groundedness, and LLM-as-a-judge scores.
