What’s going on here? I have not found a single paper that reproduces or compares against the results shown in Table 4 of the original residual network paper. All papers report significantly worse numbers.

top1 err numbers from the paper:

ResNet-50 @ 20.74

ResNet-101 @ 19.87

ResNet-152 @ 19.38

​

This paper have 20,000+ citations. DenseNet (https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.06993, 3000+ citations) and Wide ResNets (https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07146, ~1000 citations) don’t use this result. Not even one of Kaiming He’s recent papers (https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.01569) use this result. Since I’m new to the community, maybe I’m missing something here. But isn’t this paper one of the most cited pieces of work in the field??
