Concept information

Preferred term

residual connection  

Definition

  • A technique used to facilitate the optimization of deep neural networks by connecting the output of one layer to the input of a later layer, skipping one or more layers in between, which enables better flow of information through the network. (Liu et al., Rethinking Skip Connection with Layer Normalization, 2020)

Synonym(s)

  • skip connection

Example

  • All available embeddings for a token are concatenated and processed with two bidirectional LSTM layers with residual connections. (Straka & Straková, 2019)
  • Each sub-layer uses residual connections around each of the sub-layers followed by layer normalization. (Prabhumoye, Black & Salakhutdinov, 2020)
  • It has been shown that residual connections help propagate positional information across layers. (Onabola, Ma, Yang, Akera, Abdulrahman, Xue, Liu & Bengio, 2021)
  • The ELMo encoder employs CNN and highway networks over characters whose output is given to a multiple-layer biLSTM with residual connections. (Bai & Zhao, 2018)
