Which topic in deep learning do you think will become relevant or popular in the future?

Submitted by gokulPRO t3_11pyvb3 in deeplearning

I recently saw Continual Learning (CL) growing, with several papers published recently that have considerable potential to impact real-world applications. Which topic (such as CV, RL, NLP, CL..) will be very relevant to research or be focused on a lot? And which topic do you think still needs a breakthrough and will have a significant impact in real-world applications, such as in the case of these LLM models in recent times? Feel free to mention your current topic of work and why you chose to do it 😊

The usual answer to this is "multimodal" and I think that's still true, especially with recent advances. We'll see in the next few months :)

I feel like it should be possible to extend diffusion transformer technique to code generation for web development.

You can input a screenshot of a static webpage, then use a text prompt like 'Change the style to fit a futuristic theme', or just input a low fidelity UI wireframe and it can generate a detailed webpage with the html and css. We can get training data from the internet for self supervised learning.

Also retrieval transformers or models that know how to query APIs, databases and prompt other models.

Graph Neural Networks. My primary research area is currently in GNNs, and I believe it is very very underrated.

Yes! Transforming regular data structures into graphs for analysis is a really powerful thing by itself. And then to utilize the powers in GNNs on top of that!

Thing is, a lot of these problems are always solvable my Tree (non DL) models if you design your data smartly. But GNNs have so much potential to capture information, especially with the use of context attention to get exactly the right patterns you're seeking.

Which continual learning papers are you referring to?

In the same fashion as LLM, I think Large Vision Models and multimodal intersections with LLM are the next big thing.

Apart from that, I think things such as model quantisation and model distillation are going to become extremely relevant in the short term. If the trend of making models larger will keep running at this pace, it will be necessary to find solutions to run them without using a ridiculous amount of resources. In particular I can see people pre-train large multimodal models and then distill them for specific tasks

Transfer learning. With the availability of these large models, it will be in demand to adapt them to smaller/use case specific datasets.
