What changed
Randomly bypassed residual layers with identity connections during training while using the full-depth network at test time, reducing expected training depth and studying regularization.
Scientific scope
Randomly bypassed residual layers with identity connections during training while using the full-depth network at test time, reducing expected training depth and studying regularization. Inherits residual/highway connections, dropout and ensemble ideas. Shorter expected paths do not guarantee faster every implementation or equal arbitrary-depth optimization. Reported1200-layer CIFAR results are bounded experiments.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
