I'm slightly questioning the term "guide". Basically you have said become a possibly useful researcher in Machine Learning by learning about machine learning, and because Machine Learning takes place on computers it's useful to know how they work too.

This is the equivalent of me saying, if you want to join me researching quantum computing. You need to learn about the quantum and then the computing. Broadly at first then choose a niche.

It's a bit, well obviously.
