Introduced by Gustav Larsson et al. in FractalNet: Ultra-Deep Neural Networks without Residuals

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

Just as dropout prevents co-adaptation of activations, DropPath prevents co-adaptation of parallel paths in networks such as FractalNets by randomly dropping operands of the join layers. This discourages the network from using one input path as an anchor and another as a corrective term (a configuration that, if not prevented, is prone to overfitting). Two sampling strategies are:

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (22 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).
