DenseNet architecture is new, it is a logical extension of ResNet.

ResNet architecture has a fundamental building block (Identity) where you merge (additive) a previous layer into a future layer. Reasoning here is by adding additive merges we are forcing the network to learn residuals (errors i.e. diff…
