Bottleneck Residual Blocks
A bottleneck residual block replaces the standard two-layer residual function with three convolutions: , , and . The first convolution reduces the channel dimension, the convolution processes this lower-dimensional representation, and the final convolution restores the channel dimension. When the block's input and output dimensions match, a parameter-free identity shortcut connects its high-dimensional endpoints; where dimensions change in these bottleneck ResNets, a projection shortcut performs dimension matching. This bottleneck structure enables deeper ResNet configurations while controlling computational cost.
