概要	VGGNet is a deep convolutional neural network architecture introduced by Karen Simonyan and Andrew Zisserman at the Visual Geometry Group, Oxford, in 2014 (published at ICLR 2015). It demonstrated that network depth — achieved exclusively through stacking small 3x3 convolutional filters — is the single most critical factor for high image-classification accuracy, and its two canonical variants (VGG-16 and VGG-19) became the dominant benchmark architectures for CNN design throughout the mid-2010s.	DenseNet (Densely Connected Convolutional Network), introduced by Huang, Liu, van der Maaten, and Weinberger at CVPR 2017 (Best Paper Award), connects every layer to every subsequent layer within a dense block so that each layer receives the concatenated feature maps of all preceding layers — maximising feature reuse, strengthening gradient flow, and achieving competitive accuracy with substantially fewer parameters than comparable architectures such as ResNet.
