一、简介

vgg和googlenet是2014年imagenet竞赛的双雄，这两类模型结构有一个共同特点是go deeper。跟googlenet不同的是，vgg继承了lenet以及alexnet的一些框架，尤其是跟alexnet框架非常像，vgg也是5个group的卷积、2层fc图像特征、一层fc分类特征，可以看做和alexnet一样总共8个part。根据前5个卷积group，每个group中的不同配置，vgg论文中给出了A~E这五种配置，卷积层数从8到16递增。从论文中可以看到从8到16随着卷积层的一步步加深，貌似通过加深卷积层数也已经到达准确率提升的瓶颈了。后面的有一些论文针对卷积层输入的前处理（例如batch
normalization）和输出的后处理（例如prelu）做了研究。再进一步的提升方向会是什么呢？这个值得大家去深入思考。

二、网络分析

我根据http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/vgg_train_val.prototxt配置文件以及vgg论文指导修改得到了vgg_A网络结构。

在修改的过程中你会发现vgg为了做不同深度网络之间的对比，然后又不至于太多的修改网络，vgg中给所有的卷积层以及pool层都设置了一样的层操作参数，确保了每个group出来的shape都是一致的，不管你在卷积group中加多少层的卷积。

三、网络日志
