Oh I've found some areas. I'm particularly fond of explicit density models and normalizing flows. I do like RL too and was very surprised to hear that the math was "confusing" when it just seemed like weird notation. But it's hard to get works through review because even if you get SOTA for your architecture some asshat will ask you why you aren't better than the architectures being worked on by tens of thousands of people and with compute budgets 1000x yours. Though it's better if you find a very small niche so the reviews you get are more likely to actually know the bare basics of the topic.
