AugShuffleNet: Improve ShuffleNetV2 via More Information Communication

Based on ShuffleNetV2, we build a more powerful and efficient model family, termed as AugShuffleNets, by introducing higher frequency of cross-layer information communication for better model performance. Evaluated on the CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets, AugShuffleNet consistently outperforms ShuffleNetV2 in terms of accuracy, with less computational cost, fewer parameter count.
