Machine Learning User Seeks Best Architecture for Image Text Detection

A user on r/MachineLearning is seeking advice on the best architectural approach for a binary classification task to detect the presence of text within images. They are considering using a fine-tuned PaddleOCR v6 detection backbone (LCNetv4) and are exploring different methods, such as global average pooling or a grid-based approach, while also considering the implications of having only yes/no labels instead of bounding boxes.
