Squeeze and excitation network by momenta.ai has been a watershed moment for Chinese AI prowess and I'll watch out for such Chinese startups to dominate AI landscape for a while. What amuses me is why Google haven't participated in the last couple imagenets?

Imagenet as a competition is losing its importance ever since 2016. No idea like ResNet that is widely effective and inspiring from that year. I feel people just over engineered their network structure to claim the state of art by marginal gain.

Google since brought up their Neural Architecture search that can automatically design network, which I think is way ahead of rest of the competitors here.

Google has its own huge internal datasets for image classification. You can check for its mention in Chollet's ExceptionNet paper. That may be the reason why they are not really interested in working on imagenet.
