> it seems to me that even the experts do little real math and lots of guesswork Machine Learning is a rich and varied field. Like most applied sciences, there is a spectrum from the heavily applied to the heavily theoretical, to some which try to span both sides of the spectrum at the same time (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.04932 https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.04932).
