I don't see why the diagram has SVC and ensemble classifiers located in the "not working" path from KNeighbors Classifiers. It is reasonable to use an ensemble method independent of whether nearest neighbors works.

The "text data" decision point seems arbitrary and in my opinion, not useful. I've analyzed text data with a Naive Bayes a classifier as well as SVM. I really like what the chart is trying to be, but I think it is editorializing too much.

I guess the chart is designed to those who are doing their first steps in the machine learning world. It makes order. BTW I have nothing to do with scikit-learn, I shared it as I found it to be useful.

Dimensionality reduction can be a goal in and of itself, but many of the same techniques (i.e. feature selection) are useful precursors for classification, clustering, and regression. It would be nice to capture that on the diagram. More arrows, please. :)

Thanks for sharing it. I think it is a good start; it gives people something to react and build upon.

Seeing this (a while ago) from the perspective of someone that was a complete noob to machine learning I found it extremely useful. It my not be the end-all-be-all, but I found it a useful graphic for figuring out which algorithms I should research to solve a specific ML problem.
