Elastic Dense Block
Elastic Dense Block
**Elastic Dense Block** is a skip connection block that modifies the [Dense Block](https://paperswithcode.com/method/dense-block) with downsamplings and upsamplings in parallel branches at each layer to let the network learn from a data scaling policy in which inputs are processed at different resolutions in each layer. It is called "elastic" because each layer in the network is flexible in terms of choosing the best scale by a soft policy.
