Oh I do understand you. The manual for driving a car has to be different from the manual for designing a car. I believe you are looking for a manual to drive the car where you don't really need a lot of visibility into the inner workings.

A problem is that ML is not quite as mature as a car yet, so the driving manuals will be a bit on the thinner / shallower side.

Quickly write that down please, that would do the world a favor. Researchers are still grappling with the question 'why the hell does this freaking thing work as well as it does, when it does'.




Haha, I meant, the practical idea behind their usage. The example of OCR via a NN was very good in drilling that concept into my head (many inputs leading down to output). The HOW (in capitals) they work bit - I'm not going there. This thread here got me searching and I'm reading through the basic TensorFlow docs. That's, so far, sinking in.
