面對梯度下降問題,我們考慮這樣一個事實：現在你有一個淺層網絡，你想通過向上堆積新層來建立深層網絡，一個極端情況是這些增加的層什麼也不學習，僅僅複製淺層網絡的特徵，即這樣新層是恆等映射（Identity mapping）。在這種情況下，深層網絡應該至少和淺層網絡性能一樣，也不應該出現退化現象。
ResNet 的核心思想是 引入一個恆等快捷連接(identity shortcut connection)的結構,直接跳過一個或多個層:
對於一個堆積層結構（幾層堆積而成）當輸入爲 x 時其學習到的特徵記爲 H(x) ，現在我們希望其可以學習到殘差 F(x)=H(x)-x ，這樣其實原始的學習特徵是 F(x)+x 。之所以這樣是因爲殘差學習相比原始特徵直接學習更容易。當殘差爲0時，此時堆積層僅僅做了恆等映射，至少網絡性能不會下降，實際上殘差不會爲0，這也會使得堆積層在輸入特徵基礎上學習到新的特徵，從而擁有更好的性能。
爲什麼殘差網絡更容易學習?
小括號中的1表明短路機制可以無損地傳播梯度，而另外一項殘差梯度則需要經過帶有weights的層，梯度不是直接傳遞過來的。殘差梯度不會那麼巧全爲-1，而且就算其比較小，有1的存在也不會導致梯度消失。所以殘差學習會更容易。
(三)殘差網絡單元
文章提出了兩種殘差結構:
殘差結構
這種結構對應的是ResNet34,稱爲一個building block;
對應的pytorch 代碼爲:
def conv3x3(in_planes, out_planes, stride=1):
"""3x3 convolution with padding"""
return nn.Conv2d(in_planes, out_planes, kernel_size=3, stride=stride,
padding=1, bias=False)
def conv1x1(in_planes, out_planes, stride=1):
"""1x1 convolution"""
return nn.Conv2d(in_planes, out_planes, kernel_size=1, stride=stride, bias=False)
class BasicBlock(nn.Module):
expansion = 1
def __init__(self, inplanes, planes, stride=1, downsample=None):
super(BasicBlock, self).__init__()
self.conv1 = conv3x3(inplanes, planes, stride)
self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm2d(planes)
self.relu = nn.ReLU(inplace=True)
self.conv2 = conv3x3(planes, planes)
self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm2d(planes)
self.downsample = downsample
self.stride = stride
def forward(self, x):
identity = x
##記住輸入的值
out = self.conv1(x)
out = self.bn1(out)
out = self.relu(out)
out = self.conv2(out)
out = self.bn2(out)
if self.downsample is not None:
identity = self.downsample(x)
#輸出中加上恆等映射
out += identity
out = self.relu(out)
return out
第二種結構:
image
稱爲一個”bottleneck design,用於Resnet50,Resnet101，目的一目瞭然，就是爲了降低參數的數目，第一個1x1的卷積把256維channel降到64維，然後在最後通過1x1卷積恢復，整體上用的參數數目：1x1x256x64 + 3x3x64x64 + 1x1x64x256 = 69632，而不使用bottleneck的話就是兩個3x3x256的卷積，參數數目: 3x3x256x256x2 = 1179648，差了16.94倍。
class Bottleneck(nn.Module):
expansion = 4
def __init__(self, inplanes, planes, stride=1, downsample=None):
super(Bottleneck, self).__init__()
self.conv1 = conv1x1(inplanes, planes)
self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm2d(planes)
self.conv2 = conv3x3(planes, planes, stride)
self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm2d(planes)
self.conv3 = conv1x1(planes, planes * self.expansion)
self.bn3 = nn.BatchNorm2d(planes * self.expansion)
self.relu = nn.ReLU(inplace=True)
self.downsample = downsample
self.stride = stride
def forward(self, x):
identity = x
out = self.conv1(x)
out = self.bn1(out)
out = self.relu(out)
out = self.conv2(out)
out = self.bn2(out)
out = self.relu(out)
out = self.conv3(out)
out = self.bn3(out)
if self.downsample is not None:
identity = self.downsample(x)
out += identity
out = self.relu(out)
return out
