How do residual connections improve deep neural networks?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Residual connections allow gradients to flow directly, enabling training of very deep networks.
Deep explanation
They add skip connections so layers learn residual mappings instead of full transformations, solving vanishing gradient issues.
