DenseNets have several compelling advantages:

  1. They alleviate the vanishing-gradient problem.
  2. Strengthen feature propagation.
  3. Encourage feature reuse.
  4. Substantially reduce the number of parameters.

Results: We did not used any dropout layers or any other regularization techniques at all and without overfitting got a validation accuracy of 0.9 on benchmark CIFAR10 dataset.
