You will be shown an excerpt from a computer science scientific research paper, followed by a question about the paper. Please answer the question. Do not include any text in your response other than the answer.

Context: [" Second, compared to its plain counterpart, the 34-layer ResNet reduces the top-1 error by 3.5% ………. providing faster convergence at the early stage."]

Question: What are the main findings of the experiments with respect to plain networks and residual networks?
[Residual network reduce more training error than plain networks. ResNet eases the optimization by providing faster convergence at the early stage when net is not deep than plain networks. ]
