改进残差连接的特征复用，提升深层网络训练效果

Residual connections are one of the most important components in neural network architectures for mitigating the vanishing gradient problem and facilitating the training of much deeper networks. One possible explanation for how residual connections aid deeper network training is by promoting feature reuse. However, we identify and analyze the limitations of feature reuse with vanilla residual connections. To address these limitations, we propose modifications in training methods. Specifically, we provide an additional opportunity for the model to learn feature reuse with residual connections through two types of iterations during training. The first type of iteration involves using droppath, which enforces feature reuse by randomly dropping a subset of layers. The second type of iteration focuses on training the dropped parts of the model while freezing the undropped parts. As a result, the dropped parts learn in a way that encourages feature reuse, as the model relies on the undropped parts with feature reuse in mind. Overall, we demonstrated performance improvements in models with residual connections for image classification in certain cases.
