Understanding Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a class of deep learning models designed to process data with a grid-like topology, such as images. 🧠🖼️

Key Concepts

• Architecture:

  • Layers: Input → Convolution → Activation → Pooling → Output
  • Filters: Detect spatial hierarchies (edges, textures, objects)
  • Pooling: Reduces spatial dimensions (e.g., Max Pooling)

• Applications:

  • Image classification 📷
  • Object detection 🔍
  • Facial recognition 👀
  • Medical imaging 🏥

Why Use CNNs?

• Efficiency: Automatically learn features from raw data
• Accuracy: Outperform traditional methods in complex tasks
• Scalability: Handle high-resolution images with deep layers
