Regardless the impact machine learning techniques are having on the field, I still think is valuable to know and understand what are the classic methods that they are allegedly replacing.

It is actually not about "classic" vs. "modern". A lot of what's described in the book is as relevant as ever.

Mostly what's changed is that what used to be heuristics and hand-crafted features is now getting replaced by proper learned models. Also some generative models are getting replaced discriminative models since deep learning does a very good job in creating those.

Sure. Just it's nice to know which pieces are:

- considered obsolete (e.g. complicated and nasty, and still outclassed by NNs),

- building blocks of current techniques,

- provided inspiration for current techniques,

- are still state of the art.
