The Inception network was developed by researchers from Google and it won the ILSVRC in 2014. The guiding principle for the Inception network was to provide highly accurate predictions efficiently. Google's interest was to create a CNN that could be trained and deployed in real time across their network of servers. To do that, the researchers developed something known as the Inception module, that vastly improved training time while maintaining its accuracy. In fact, in the 2014 ILSVRC, the Inception network managed to achieve a higher accuracy than VGG16, despite having far fewer parameters.
The Inception network has been continuously improved upon. At the time of writing, the latest Inception network is at its 4th version ...
