The extraction of β-feeding distributions in Total Absorption γ-ray Spectroscopy constitutes a challenging inverse problem, particularly in nuclei with complex decay schemes involving a large number of excited states. In such cases, the measured spectrum arises from the superposition of many detector response functions, making the determination of the individual feedings intrinsically ill-posed and highly sensitive to the methodology employed. In this work, we present a systematic comparison between supervised Machine-Learning techniques and Response-Matrix methods using realistic Monte Carlo simulations of an experimental Total Absorption Spectrometer. Supervised Machine-Learning approaches construct a non-parametric estimator that infers level feedings from the measured spectrum after a training stage, whereas Response-Matrix methods determine the feeding distribution by directly minimizing the difference between measured and reconstructed spectra. Our results show that supervised Machine-Learning techniques achieve superior accuracy in the reconstruction of individual feeding intensities, whereas Response-Matrix methods provide robust and physically consistent initial solutions. These findings support a hybrid strategy in which a Response-Matrix method is first used to obtain an initial feeding estimate, which is then refined using a supervised Machine-Learning approach to achieve improved overall accuracy.
