Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a broad class of computational models loosely based on biological neural networks. They encompass feedforward NNs (including "deep" NNs), convolutional NNs, recurrent NNs, etc.

How does ResNet or CNN with skip connections solve the gradient exploding problem?

I'm not 100% sure, but I would guess that this is more referring to normalization like BatchNorm rather than skip connections. It's not like ResNets will not explode without any normalization and not …

How does rectilinear activation function solve the vanishing gradient problem in neural netw...

This is why it's probably a better idea to use PReLU, ELU, or other leaky ReLU-like activations which don't just die off to 0, but which fall to something like 0.1*x when x gets negative to keep learn …

Is there any point in using MSE loss in modern deep neural networks?

Is there any point in using MSE loss -- (a-b)^2 instead of L1 loss -- abs(a-b) in modern DNN/CNN architectures which use ReLU/ReLU-like activations? If so, why?
