Most of this is noise; the debate on gating networks versus basic methods ignores fundamental logic.
These methods are in dialectical opposition and not just contextual improvements, because they differ fundamentally in their prediction approach.
A gating network dynamically evaluates data, which is an active stance, while basic methods offer a more static view.
For example, a Korean investor seeking clear signals for high-growth tech companies demands a discipline of dynamic integration of new justifications.
It is an active versus passive mechanism, not just a simple complementarity.
