New neural network architectures

Previous article “ Neural networks. Where does it all go ? ”
This article briefly discusses some neural network architectures, mainly on the task of detecting objects , in order to find (or at least try to find) future directions in this rapidly developing field.
The article does not pretend to be comprehensive and have a good understanding of the diagonal read articles. The author is sure that while he was writing this article, many more new architectures appeared. For example, see here: https://paperswithcode.com/area/computer-vision .
Object Detection in 20 Years - A great overview of 400+ articles for detecting objects over 20 years.
The Neural Network Zoo is a zoo of neural networks whose contents are constantly changing.
An interesting video with recommendations on how to design a neural network: “ How to Design a Neural Network ”.

PS I recommend the video blog ML Tokyo , in which the author explains and makes neural networks on Keras. His CNN seminar is just what a novice "neurocoder" like me needs.
Thank you for the attention!
