Introduced by Golnaz Ghiasi et al. in DropBlock: A regularization method for convolutional networks

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

DropBlock is a structured form of dropout directed at regularizing convolutional networks. In DropBlock, units in a contiguous region of a feature map are dropped together. As DropBlock discards features in a correlated area, the networks must look elsewhere for evidence to fit the data.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (132 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).
