Research paper links CNN topology to trainability, not just layer count

A new research paper explores the relationship between the nominal depth of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and their trainability, introducing the concept of "effective depth." The study found that while nominal depth (layer count) and effective depth are both correlated with accuracy, architectural topology plays a crucial role. Architectures like ResNet and GoogLeNet can benefit from increased depth by maintaining a lower effective depth compared to their nominal depth, a phenomenon termed the "Effective Depth Paradox." AI

IMPACT Highlights the importance of architectural topology over sheer layer count for CNN performance and trainability.
