Q Why did residual connections make very deep networks trainable?

Each block learns only a residual on top of an identity mapping, so extra depth starts from an easy default, and normalised inputs keep the signal stable.

[1] Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognitionp. 2

“It is easier to optimize the residual mapping than to optimize the original, unreferenced mapping.”
