...Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition Kaiming He Xiangyu Zhang Shaoqing Ren Microsoft Research Jian Sun Deeper neural networks are more difficult to train. We present a residual learning framework to ease the training of networks that are substantially deeper than those used previously. We explicitly reformulate the layers as learning residual functions with reference to the layer inputs, instead of learning unreferenced functions. We provide comprehensive empirical evidence showing that these residual networks are easier to optimize, and can gain accuracy from considerably increased depth. On the ImageNet dataset we evaluate residual nets with a depth of up to 152 layers—8× deeper than VGG nets [41] but still having lower complexity. An ensemble of these residual nets achieves 3.57% error on the ImageNet test set. This result won the 1st place on the ILSVRC 2015 classification task. We also present analysis on CIFAR-10 with 100 and 1000 layers. The depth of representations is of central importance for many visual recognition tasks. Solely due to our extremely deep representations, we obtain a 28% relative improvement on the COCO object detection dataset. Deep residual nets are foundations of our submissions to ILSVRC & COCO 2015 competitions1 , where we also won the 1st places on the tasks of ImageNet detection, ImageNet localization, COCO detection, and COCO segmentation. 20 10 56-layer test error (%) 20 Abstract training...

...IT Services Guides Connecting to Wired ResNet using Windows 7. The ResNet network uses an encryption method called 802.1x to secure your connection to the network. It offers a much safer connection than an unencrypted open network. Windows 7 has support for wired 802.1x but it is not enabled by default. This guide will lead you through configuring your computer and connecting to the wired ResNet service. To carry out these connection changes you will be required to be logged into the laptop with administrator rights. Step 1 : Enable the Wired AutoConfig service 1. Click the start button to bring up the start menu. 2. In the Run window at the bottom of the start menu type services.msc and hit enter. 3. Find Wired AutoConfig in the list and right click on the service and select properties. IT Services Guides 4. Under the Startup type dropdown menu select Automatic and then OK. 5. Restart your computer. IT Services Guides Step 2 Configure Credentials 1. On the start menu click on Network, then select Network and Sharing Centre. 2. Click Change Adapter Settings on the left hand side. 3. Right click on Local Area Connection then click Properties. 4. On the Authentication tab select Enable 802.1x authentication and in the drop down select Microsoft Protected EAP (PEAP) menu IT Services Guides 5. Click Settings and ensure the dropdown says Secured password (EAP-MSCHAPv2) 6. Click configure and uncheck the checkbox. Now close all open windows by clicking...
