Evolution of meme classification approaches:
From building custom classifiers to leveraging pre-trained models.

  1. Pre-Embedding Era:
    • Custom architectures (MemeFier, MemeTector)
    • Task-specific models
    • Heavy feature engineering
  2. Modern CLIP/Embedding Era:
    • Leveraging pre-trained models
    • Focus on adapting large-scale embeddings
    • Multiple CLIP-based approaches
  3. Specialized approaches remain relevant for:
    • Limited resources
    • Domain-specific needs
    • Interpretability
    • Specific performance requirements
