Essay

Compare the performance of plain networks and residual networks when scaling depth from 18 to 34 layers on ImageNet. In your response, describe the degradation problem observed in the plain baselines, how residual networks resolve this issue, and what training behavior demonstrates that residual networks effectively benefit from added depth.
