Model Overview

With modified architecture and initialization this ResNet50 version gives ~0.5% better accuracy than original.

Model Architecture

The model architecture was present in Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition paper. The main advantage of the model is the usage of residual layers as a building block that helps with gradient propagation during training.
