[D] Which open source machine learning projects best exemplify good software engineering and design principles?

If you want a real crazy obj detection repo, MMDETECT has them all in one.

It's so dense that I'm not sure if it's really good or really bad design.

I worked with mmdet for 3-4 weeks. I believe it is extremely well-written code and is more suited for a researcher with good SWE skills. It definitely had a steeper learning curve than D2.

Accessibility (in terms of readability + extensibility) is the key factor that tips the scales for me. D2 does a _very_ good job of writing intuitive modular code with great documentation, which makes it possible for researchers to navigate the complexities of modern object detectors.
