Researchers have introduced Layer-wise Progressive Approximation (LPA), a new training principle for deep residual networks. This method reframes residual networks as a layer-by-layer approximation process, demonstrating that error can decrease monotonically with network depth. LPA enables a single trained network to provide useful predictions at various depths, allowing for efficient inference without retraining. AI
