Dense Convolutional Networks revolutionize object recognition with fewer parameters.
Convolutional Networks with Dense Connectivity, or DenseNets, connect each layer to every other layer in a feed-forward way. This helps solve the vanishing-gradient problem, encourages feature reuse, and improves parameter efficiency. DenseNets outperform other networks on object recognition tasks like CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN, and ImageNet, while using fewer parameters and less computation.
