Machine learning is a fascinating field, which continuously generates exciting and quite nontrivial theoretical, practical, and even societal/ethical questions. Attacking the questions from all these aspects simultaneously, the partial solutions offered by machine learning researchers have only posed additional questions and revealed many interesting and sometimes surprising “phenomena”. With such puzzling observations, I believe the machine learning of today should be treated as a natural science, rather than an engineering science, with many mysteries to be discovered and with many potential outcomes that might outreach its apparent scope.
