TABLE VII: Comparative Results of Models With and Without Residual Connections
['Methods', 'Precision', 'Recall', 'F{}_{1}-score']
, we compare the performance of models with or without residual connections. The benefit brought by residual connections is 0.30\% in terms of F{}_{1}-score. It is reasonable because residual connections can help the model to utilize both semantic (i.e. high-level) and low-level features.
