TLDR
This paper conducts a detailed experimental study on the architecture of ResNet blocks and proposes a novel architecture where the depth and width of residual networks are decreased and the resulting network structures are called wide residual networks (WRNs), which are far superior over their commonly used thin and very deep counterparts.
Abstract
Deep residual networks were shown to be able to scale up to thousands of layers and still have improving performance. However, each fraction of a percent of improved accuracy costs nearly doubling the number of layers, and so training very deep residual networks has a problem of diminishing feature reuse, which makes these networks very slow to train. To tackle these problems, in this paper we conduct a detailed experimental study on the architecture of ResNet blocks, based on which we propose a novel architecture where we decrease depth and increase width of residual networks. We call the resulting network structures wide residual networks (WRNs) and show that these are far superior over their commonly used thin and very deep counterparts. For example, we demonstrate that even a simple 16-layer-deep wide residual network outperforms in accuracy and efficiency all previous deep residual networks, including thousand-layer-deep networks, achieving new state-of-the-art results on CIFAR, SVHN, COCO, and significant improvements on ImageNet. Our code and models are available at this https URL

Aggregated Residual Transformations for Deep Neural Networks

TL;DR: ResNeXt as discussed by the authors is a simple, highly modularized network architecture for image classification, which is constructed by repeating a building block that aggregates a set of transformations with the same topology.

CBAM: Convolutional Block Attention Module

TL;DR: Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) as discussed by the authors is a simple yet effective attention module for feed-forward convolutional neural networks, given an intermediate feature map, the module sequentially infers attention maps along two separate dimensions, channel and spatial, then the attention maps are multiplied to the input feature map for adaptive feature refinement.

Swin Transformer: Hierarchical Vision Transformer using Shifted Windows.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a new vision Transformer called Swin Transformer, which is computed with shifted windows to address the differences between the two domains, such as large variations in the scale of visual entities and the high resolution of pixels in images compared to words in text.
