1. 介绍

Residual layer用来解决神经网络训练过程中的gradient消失或爆炸等意外情况，其效果是提供了lower bound,即很容易学到indenty function(extra layers'weight = 0）

2 原理

residual layer

注意由于a[L] 和 z[L+2] 要相加合并，因此必须确保两者的height, weight, channel都相同。

而且也并不一定非为2层，也可以为3层。

residual layer with 3 layers

实现如下(第1层使用1x1 conv，结合第2层，可以加快计算；因此第1层padding=valid, 第2层padding=same；此外要注意F3 = # channels of X)

def identity_block(X, f, filters, stage, block):
    """
    Implementation of the identity block as defined in Figure 3
    
    Arguments:
    X -- input tensor of shape (m, n_H_prev, n_W_prev, n_C_prev)
    f -- integer, specifying the shape of the middle CONV's window for the main path
    filters -- python list of integers, defining the number of filters in the CONV layers of the main path
    stage -- integer, used to name the layers, depending on their position in the network
    block -- string/character, used to name the layers, depending on their position in the network
    
    Returns:
    X -- output of the identity block, tensor of shape (n_H, n_W, n_C)
    """
    
    # defining name basis
    conv_name_base = 'res' + str(stage) + block + '_branch'
    bn_name_base = 'bn' + str(stage) + block + '_branch'
    
    # Retrieve Filters
    F1, F2, F3 = filters
    
    # Save the input value. You'll need this later to add back to the main path. 
    X_shortcut = X
    
    # First component of main path
    X = Conv2D(filters = F1, kernel_size = (1, 1), strides = (1,1), padding = 'valid', name = conv_name_base + '2a', kernel_initializer = glorot_uniform(seed=0))(X)
    X = BatchNormalization(axis = 3, name = bn_name_base + '2a')(X)
    X = Activation('relu')(X)
    
    ### START CODE HERE ###
    
    # Second component of main path (≈3 lines)
    X = Conv2D(filters = F2, kernel_size = (f, f), strides = (1,1), padding = 'same', name = conv_name_base + '2b', kernel_initializer = glorot_uniform(seed=0))(X)
    X = BatchNormalization(axis = 3, name = bn_name_base + '2b')(X)
    X = Activation('relu')(X)

    # Third component of main path (≈2 lines)
    X = Conv2D(filters = F3, kernel_size = (1, 1), strides = (1,1), padding = 'valid', name = conv_name_base + '2c', kernel_initializer = glorot_uniform(seed=0))(X)
    X = BatchNormalization(axis = 3, name = bn_name_base + '2c')(X)

    # Final step: Add shortcut value to main path, and pass it through a RELU activation (≈2 lines)
    X = layers.add([X, X_shortcut])
    X = Activation('relu')(X)
    
    ### END CODE HERE ###
    
    return X

3. 变形

typical residual 由于输入和输出同shape，限制了其功能。但对short_path 稍作改进，即可实现convolution 功能。

convolutional residual layer

实现如下(short_path的#filters 与 F3一致；同时参数s控制整个convolution layer是否减少height and weight)

def convolutional_block(X, f, filters, stage, block, s = 2):
    """
    Implementation of the convolutional block as defined in Figure 4
    
    Arguments:
    X -- input tensor of shape (m, n_H_prev, n_W_prev, n_C_prev)

    filters -- python list of integers, defining the number of filters in the CONV layers of the main path
    stage -- integer, used to name the layers, depending on their position in the network
    block -- string/character, used to name the layers, depending on their position in the network
    s -- Integer, specifying the stride to be used
    
    Returns:
    X -- output of the convolutional block, tensor of shape (n_H, n_W, n_C)
    """
    
    # defining name basis
    conv_name_base = 'res' + str(stage) + block + '_branch'
    bn_name_base = 'bn' + str(stage) + block + '_branch'
    
    # Retrieve Filters
    F1, F2, F3 = filters
    
    # Save the input value
    X_shortcut = X


    ##### MAIN PATH #####
