This is an effort to get some discussion going.

I remember starting grad school and coming across reddit posts with themes like, “What research area will be hot in the next 10 years?”, etc. In retrospect, the comments there were not very informed (talk of graphical models and bayesian non-parametrics). But, the heart of these posts is talking about a research area that you find exciting.

So, tell us what research area is currently exciting to you. Are you starting a new job, project, or graduate program to work on it?

    I too believe that SSL (and to some extent Unsupervised Learning) is by far the best way to frame learning problems in DL, it has shown to avoid the pesky mode collapse and improves out of distribution inference performance.
