Abstract(in English) The skip-connection and the batch-normalization (BN) in ResNet enable an extreme deep neural network to be trained with high performance. However, the reasons for its high performance are still unclear. A large ratio of the between-class distance to the within-class distance of feature vectors at the last hidden layer induces a high performance. Thus, we analyzed the change of these distances through hidden layers of the randomly initialized multilayer perceptron (MLP), the ResNet, and the ResNet with BN. Our results show that the MLP strongly decreases the between-class distance compared with the within-class distance and that the skip-connection and the BN relax this decrease of the between-class angle and improve the ratio of the distances. Moreover, the skip-connection and the BN relax the exponential decrease of the angle into the reciprocal decrease. We also analyzed the effects of training on the distances and show that the preservation of the angle through layers at initialization encourages trained neural networks to increase the ratio of the distances. Therefore, the skip-connection and the BN in the ResNet induce a high performance.
