🕹 Technology Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence Neural Networks Data science Optimization
  1. ResNets help make deep neural networks easier to train by smoothing the loss landscape. This makes it simpler for optimization algorithms to find the best solutions.
  2. The main idea behind ResNets is to add 'skip connections' between layers, allowing the network to learn identity functions. This means that if a layer isn’t helpful, it won't negatively impact learning.
  3. As networks get deeper, ResNets adjust their weights to limit changes in representations. This keeps the performance consistent, preventing problems like overfitting and improving accuracy.
