Title: Background:<p>I&#x27;m a CS junior (about to become a senior) and in our last year, people choose their capstone project that they work on for the entire year.  For some years (say since 2017), deep learning projects completely dominate the other projects in term of number and the awards that they go on to win. I understand the principles behind it, even find it cool, but the whole inscrutable nature of it is problematic to me.
