Dual Path Networks on cifar-10 and fashion-mnist datasets.

---

We construct a dual path network with WideResNet28-10 as the backbone network. The growth rate of densenet structure in the three convolutional stages are 16, 32 and 64, respectively. For details of the dual path network and wide resnet, please refer to [1] and [2]. We call this model DualPathNet28-10, which has 47.75M parameters (WideResNet28-10 has 37.5M parameters).
The implementation details are as in [2]. We did not fine-tune the hyperparameters. You might get better results after fine-tuning.

Results on cifar-10:

Accuracy: 96.35 vs 96.10(WideResNet28-10)

Results on fashion-mnist:

Accuracy: 95.73
