GoogLeNet architecture

In 2014, ILSVRC, Google published its own network known as GoogLeNet. Its performance is a little better than VGGNet; GoogLeNet's performance is 6.7% compared to VGGNet's performance of 7.3%. The main attractive feature of GoogLeNet is that it runs very fast due to the introduction of a new concept called inception module, thus reducing the number of parameters to only 5 million; that's 12 times less than AlexNet. It has lower memory use and lower power use too.

It has 22 layers, so it is a very deep network. Adding more layers increases the number of parameters and it is likely that the network overfits. There will be more computation, because a linear increase in filters results in a quadratic increase in computation. ...
