Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a class of deep learning algorithms that have revolutionized fields like image recognition, video analysis, and pattern detection. Their ability to automatically learn spatial hierarchies from data makes them a cornerstone of modern AI. Let's break down how they work and why they're so powerful!
How CNNs Work 🔄
Convolutional Layers
- Apply filters to detect features (edges, textures) in input data.
- 📌 Example: A filter might highlight vertical lines in an image.
- Convolutional_Layer
Pooling Layers
- Reduce spatial dimensions while retaining important features.
- 📌 Common types: Max Pooling, Average Pooling.
- Pooling_Layer
Fully Connected Layers
- Classify features into final output (e.g., object labels).
- 📌 Think of it as the "brain" processing all learned patterns.
Applications of CNNs 🌐
- Computer Vision: Facial recognition, autonomous vehicles.
- Medical Imaging: Detecting tumors in X-rays or MRIs.
- Natural Language Processing: Though less common, CNNs are used for text classification.
