ResNet系列模型是在2015年提出的，一举在ILSVRC2015比赛中取得冠军，top5错误率为3.57%。该网络创新性的提出了残差结构，通过堆叠多个残差结构从而构建了ResNet网络。实验表明使用残差块可以有效地提升收敛速度和精度。
斯坦福大学的Joyce Xu将ResNet称为「真正重新定义了我们看待神经网络的方式」的三大架构之一。由于ResNet卓越的性能，越来越多的来自学术界和工业界学者和工程师对其结构进行了改进，比较出名的有Wide-ResNet, ResNet-vc ,ResNet-vd, Res2Net等，其中ResNet-vc与ResNet-vd的参数量和计算量与ResNet几乎一致，所以在此我们将其与ResNet统一归为ResNet系列。
本次发布ResNet系列的模型包括ResNet50，ResNet50_vd，ResNet50_vd_ssld，ResNet200_vd等14个预训练模型。在训练层面上，ResNet的模型采用了训练ImageNet的标准训练流程，而其余改进版模型采用了更多的训练策略，如learning rate的下降方式采用了cosine decay，引入了label smoothing的标签正则方式，在数据预处理加入了mixup的操作，迭代总轮数从120个epoch增加到200个epoch。
其中，ResNet50_vd_v2与ResNet50_vd_ssld采用了知识蒸馏，保证模型结构不变的情况下，进一步提升了模型的精度，具体地，ResNet50_vd_v2的teacher模型是ResNet152_vd（top1准确率80.59%），数据选用的是ImageNet-1k的训练集，ResNet50_vd_ssld的teacher模型是ResNeXt101_32x16d_wsl（top1准确率84.2%），数据选用结合了ImageNet-1k的训练集和ImageNet-22k挖掘的400万数据。知识蒸馏的具体方法正在持续更新中。
该系列模型的FLOPS、参数量以及T4 GPU上的预测耗时如下图所示。
通过上述曲线可以看出，层数越多，准确率越高，但是相应的参数量、计算量和延时都会增加。ResNet50_vd_ssld通过用更强的teacher和更多的数据，将其在ImageNet-1k上的验证集top-1精度进一步提高，达到了82.39%，刷新了ResNet50系列模型的精度。
