Deep Residual Learning for
Image Recognition (ResNet)
By Kaiming He et al. | Explained Simply Introduction • ResNet (Residual Networks) introduced a new way to train deep neural networks effectively.
• - Deep networks often perform better but are
harder to train. • - The 'degradation problem' causes accuracy to drop in very deep networks. • - ResNet solves this using residual learning with shortcut connections. The Problem: Why Deep Networks Fail • - Deeper networks should perform better, but in practice, they don't always. • - Vanishing gradients make it difficult to update deeper layers. • - The 'degradation problem': More layers lead to worse accuracy. • - Optimization becomes harder as networks grow deeper. The Solution: Residual Learning • - Instead of learning a function H(x), ResNet learns the residual F(x) = H(x) - x. • - The final output is H(x) = F(x) + x. • - Shortcut connections (skip connections) allow information to bypass certain layers. • - This helps with gradient flow and makes training deep networks easier. How ResNet Works • - Uses 'Residual Blocks' with identity mappings. • - Each block contains: • - Two or more layers • - A shortcut connection that skips these layers • - If no change is needed, the residual function F(x) can be 0, making training easier. • - Prevents vanishing gradient issues and degradation. Key Results and Achievements • - ResNet won the ImageNet competition (2015) with 3.57% error. • - Successfully trained networks with 152 layers (previously unthinkable). • - Improved performance in object detection (COCO dataset) and image classification. • - Inspired architectures in modern AI (e.g., Transformers like GPT and BERT). Why ResNet is Important • - Revolutionized deep learning by enabling very deep networks. • - The concept of skip connections is now widely used in AI. • - Applied in computer vision, medical imaging, NLP, and more. • - Used in modern architectures like EfficientNet, Vision Transformers, and GANs. Conclusion • - ResNet solves the problem of training very deep networks. • - Uses residual learning with shortcut connections to improve optimization. • - Won major AI competitions and influenced modern deep learning. • - A foundation for many cutting-edge AI models today.
