The motivation to design the submodule

[seacj]

It seems that the motivation to design the jasper architecture is not clear. Most networks are constructed by stacking the basic module such as Resnet, MobileNet. The design of the submodule architecture makes me confused. Could you share the motivation here?

As a result, Jasper’s architecture contains only 1D convolution,
batch normalization, ReLU, and dropout layers – operators
highly optimized for training and inference on GPUs.
