Why is machine learning 'hard'? (2016)
Summary: Machine learning remains a challenging field despite advancements in accessibility and the emergence of online courses, textbooks, and frameworks. The difficulty lies in building an intuition for selecting the right tools and algorithms for a specific problem. Debugging machine learning algorithms is exponentially harder due to the addition of data and model dimensions, making it essential to develop an intuition for identifying issues. Additionally, long debugging cycles complicate the process, as it takes hours or days to see the results of potential fixes.
