alt Hacker NewsYeah machine learning is more or less just very complex application of control theory techniques and notably it is usually done by people without formal control theory backgrounds.
Super useful for control applications but obviously you really want to know control theory so that you aren't just using ML to throw darts at a wall.

More like optimization. Signal processing and control theory are basically the same maths with different applications, optimization is a bit different but has some overlap (especially with, e.g. optimal control techniques).

A bit off topic but I had a laugh at that, reminded me of that ridiculous Meta commercial where the girl at a pool table asks Meta which ball should she hit?
