The proposed research explores novel methods for enhancing the performance of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) without increasing model size or environmental constraints. By leveraging the understanding that many CNN structures can be explained by the discretization of ordinary differential equations, the authors propose a stacking scheme based on linear multi-step numerical difference methods, which outperforms existing schemes like ResNet and HO-ResNet. This work has implications for improving deep network structures using theoretically supported higher-order numerical difference methods.

This paper is about finding new ways to make Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) better without making them too big or complicated. Some people have discovered that many CNN designs can be understood by looking at how they are related to ordinary differential equations. This means we might be able to create deeper network structures using a more powerful type of math. The authors suggest a new way of combining different parts of a network, called the linear multi-step method, which works better than some other methods like ResNet and HO-ResNet.
