Who was the first-listed author of the paper “Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition,” which introduced ResNets?
Show answer
Kaiming He
Kaiming He led the research team at Microsoft that developed Residual Networks (ResNets), which famously won the ILSVRC 2015 competition. By introducing 'skip connections' that bypass certain layers, ResNets made it possible to train deep neural networks with over 1,000 layers for the first time. This architecture effectively solved the degradation problem where adding more layers to a model would otherwise lead to higher training errors.
