DLA, or Deep Layer Aggregation, iteratively and hierarchically merges the feature hierarchy across layers in neural networks to make networks with better accuracy and fewer parameters.

In iterative deep aggregation (IDA), aggregation begins at the shallowest, smallest scale and then iteratively merges deeper, larger scales. In this way shallow features are refined as they are propagated through different stages of aggregation.

In hierarchical deep aggregation (HDA), blocks and stages in a tree are merged to preserve and combine feature channels. With HDA shallower and deeper layers are combined to learn richer combinations that span more of the feature hierarchy. While IDA effectively combines stages, it is insufficient for fusing the many blocks of a network, as it is still only sequential.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (94 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
