Uhm? There is another way to do ML.

We have hundreds of algos for ml, and all of them are fiddly with dozens of variables and other details to tweak. One of the first areas when venturing into ml is "you have to put in lots of analysis work".

I disagree.

Instead, I propose the following. Identify the problem at hand, and then select ml algos that you believe will solve it ideally. Use ml to tweak the variables for each algorithm to give best settings, then compare the top for ideal.

Why should I choose the algorithm when discussing ml when the machine can do it for me?
