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

A Grouped Convolution uses a group of convolutions - multiple kernels per layer - resulting in multiple channel outputs per layer. This leads to wider networks helping a network learn a varied set of low level and high level features. The original motivation of using Grouped Convolutions in AlexNet was to distribute the model over multiple GPUs as an engineering compromise. But later, with models such as ResNeXt, it was shown this module could be used to improve classification accuracy. Specifically by exposing a new dimension through grouped convolutions, cardinality (the size of set of transformations), we can increase accuracy by increasing it.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (575 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).
