ResNet-200 — это сверхглубокая нейросеть, которая совершила прорыв в компьютерном зрении благодаря использованию остаточных связей (skip connections). Эта AI-модель эффективно справляется с классификацией изображений, демонстрируя поразительную точность даже при огромном количестве слоев.
Deep residual networks have emerged as a family of extremely deep architectures showing compelling accuracy and nice convergence behaviors. In this paper, we analyze the propagation formulations behind the residual building blocks, which suggest that the forward and backward signals can be directly propagated from one block to any other block, when using identity mappings as the skip connections and after-addition activation. A series of ablation experiments support the importance of these identity mappings. This motivates us to propose a new residual unit, which makes training easier and improves generalization. We report improved results using a 1001-layer ResNet on CIFAR10 (4.62 % error) and CIFAR-100, and a 200-layer ResNet on ImageNet.
