ResNet, short for Residual Network, is a deep neural network architecture introduced by Microsoft Research in 2015. It revolutionized the field of computer vision by allowing the training of extremely deep networks through the use of residual learning, which mitigates issues like vanishing gradients and degradation problem in deep networks. ResNet has been widely adopted in various applications including image classification, object detection, and transfer learning.
