codestar observes that classic vision architecture tricks are returning: "I'm watching resnets and densenets being reinvented from first principles each week," planning to dust off old neural architecture search ideas. Zach Mueller agrees a golden age may be near, hoping for UNet-transformer hybrids that put semantic segmentation "back on the menu." Classic CV design ideas are regaining value in new multimodal architectures.
