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.
