Evolution of meme classification approaches:
From building custom classifiers to leveraging pre-trained models.
- Pre-Embedding Era:
- Custom architectures (MemeFier, MemeTector)
- Task-specific models
- Heavy feature engineering
- Modern CLIP/Embedding Era:
- Leveraging pre-trained models
- Focus on adapting large-scale embeddings
- Multiple CLIP-based approaches
- Specialized approaches remain relevant for:
- Limited resources
- Domain-specific needs
- Interpretability
- Specific performance requirements
