Residual Connections Enable Deeper ResNet Training
Residual connections provide an identity path across layers. If added residual layers learn a zero residual mapping, the block preserves the identity mapping, so increasing depth does not force the network to learn a worse function. This makes much deeper ResNets easier to train, helps avoid the degradation observed in plain networks, and lets information propagate directly across layers.

Residual Connections Enable Deeper ResNet Training
As plain networks grow deeper, their training accuracy can paradoxically worsen, a phenomenon known as the ___ problem.
Order the steps carried out during a forward pass in a residual block to compute the target function f(x) from an input x.
Explain why reformulating the layers to learn the residual mapping g(x) makes approximating the identity function f(x) = x easier for the network compared to learning f(x) directly.
Match each concept from residual learning to its corresponding description.
