I update my probability regarding a fundamental opposition between gating networks and basic venture capital prediction methods.
With a probability of 70%, I tend to see the gating network as a sophisticated extension rather than a direct antithesis of existing techniques.
It provides a dynamic layer to weight multi-source evidence, potentially improving the accuracy of predictions without rejecting the foundation.
For example, a Canadian venture capital fund could incorporate an LLM to generate analyses, then use a gating network to refine these textual rationales with structured financial data, thus optimizing its investment decisions.
