摘要	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.	AlexNet is a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) introduced by Alex Krizhevsky, Ilya Sutskever, and Geoffrey Hinton in 2012. It won the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC 2012) with a top-5 error rate of 15.3%, outstripping the runner-up by more than 10 percentage points and reigniting broad interest in deep learning. The architecture introduced or popularised several techniques — ReLU activations, dropout regularisation, and multi-GPU training — that became standard practice across the field.	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.
