ML researchers seek cross-modality pattern taxonomy

A user on r/MachineLearning is seeking to identify fundamental, repeating patterns in machine learning techniques that transcend specific modalities like text, images, or audio. They've observed similarities in methods such as tokenization, masking, diffusion, and prediction across different data types and are looking for an existing taxonomy or mental model to group research papers based on these underlying patterns rather than their application domain.
