As a lazy non-ML simpleton, is there a simple explanation for it's usage?

Would tabular classification usually refer to say, extraction of tabular data in a picture to text?

I tried googling and looking through the site but it wasn't obvious to me what this actually does.

No, it's meant for taking something like a CSV file and deciding if each row matches a specific category. A common example, have a CSV, columns corresponding to different features of flowers (e.g. number of petals, size of petals) and the output is the type of flower.

No it’s really just tabular csv data, like a typical spreadsheet would hold. These datasets are rarely ever outperformed by deep learning compared to standard ML.

Doesn’t it being a NN automate some of the feature engineering?
