DenseNets have several compelling advantages:
- They alleviate the vanishing-gradient problem.
- Strengthen feature propagation.
- Encourage feature reuse.
- 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.
