Tensorflow Implementation of DenseNets

Two types of Densely Connected Convolutional Networks (DenseNets) are available:

• DenseNet - without bottleneck layers
• DenseNet-BC - with bottleneck layers

Each model can be tested on such datasets:

• Cifar10
• Cifar10+ (with data augmentation)
• Cifar100
• Cifar100+ (with data augmentation)
• ImageNet

Example run:

python train_densenet_cifar.py

There are also many other implementations - they may be useful also.

Dependencies

• Model was tested with Python 2.7 with and without CUDA.
• Model should work as expected with TensorFlow >= 1.4.

Repo supported with requirements file - so the easiest way to install all just run pip install -r requirements.txt.
