Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) Tutorial 🤖

A beginner-friendly guide to understanding and implementing CNNs for image recognition tasks.

What is a CNN?

CNNs are a type of deep learning model designed to process grid-like data (e.g., images). They use convolutional layers to automatically detect spatial hierarchies, such as edges, textures, and objects.

Key Components

• Convolutional Layers: Apply filters to extract features from input data.
• Pooling Layers: Reduce spatial dimensions (e.g., Max Pooling).
• Fully Connected Layers: Classify features into final output.

Applications

CNNs excel in:

• Image classification 📸
• Object detection 🔍
• Facial recognition 👀
• Medical imaging 🩺

Getting Started

1. Install TensorFlow/PyTorch 🛠️
2. Load a dataset (e.g., CIFAR-10) 📁
3. Build a CNN model with layers
4. Train and evaluate the model 📈
