CNN architecture evolution driven by depth, scaling, and training recipes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent analysis delves into the evolution of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures, specifically examining ResNet, EfficientNet, and ConvNeXt. The author investigates whether advancements in state-of-the-art CNNs are primarily due to architectural innovations or improvements in scaling and training strategies. The findings suggest that both factors play a significant role and are difficult to disentangle, with ResNet enabling greater depth, EfficientNet introducing principled scaling, and ConvNeXt adopting transformer-like training recipes.
