Deep Residual Networks with Exponential Linear Unit

Shah, Anish, Kadam, Eashan, Shah, Hena et al.

Understand

Very deep convolutional neural networks introduced new problems like vanishing gradient and degradation.

  • The recent successful contributions towards solving these problems are Residual and Highway Networks.
  • These networks introduce skip connections that allow the information (from the input or those learned in earlier layers) to flow more into the deeper layers.
  • These very deep models have lead to a considerable decrease in test errors, on benchmarks like ImageNet and COCO.
