In this episode, we explore how Lyft identified the right algorithmic approach for building a real-time spatial-temporal forecasting system. The team evaluated two major model families for this task: classical time-series models and deep neural networks. This study highlights the balance between accuracy and practicality—and serves as a valuable guide for choosing machine learning solutions that truly meet business needs.
