Study Notes

CNN vs. Fully-Connected Network

CNNs are better than FCs when dealing with images because they preserve the dimensional relationships between image pixels.
In CNNs, the number of trainable parameters is the number of filter elements, whereas in FC networks, it's the number of arrows between each consecutive layer.
This means CNNs have a smaller number of parameters to train, resulting in faster and more accurate training.

CNN Construction

Input Layer: receives raw pixel values of the input image and passes them forward to subsequent layers for feature extraction and classification.
Convolutional Layers: perform a fundamental operation in the network, applying filters to extract relevant features.
Each filter searches for one feature in the image and applies an activation function after the convolution.
Pooling Layer: reduces the dimensions of feature maps, extracting the most important information from the previous layer.
Max Pooling is usually better than Average Pooling.
Flatten Layer: bridges convolutional layers and fully connected layers, enabling the network to process extracted features and make predictions.
Fully Connected Layers: convert the number of neurons from the flattened feature map to match the number of output classes.
Output Layer: produces classifications for the input data, consisting of neurons, each representing a class in the classification task.

CNN Model Creation

Procedure for creating a CNN model involves:
- Dataset preparation
- Applying filters to extract features
- Convolutional layers with multiple filters
- Pooling layers
- Flatten layers
- Fully connected layers
- Output layers

Convolutional Layers

Applying one filter on a grey-scale image (2D-Conv) produces a feature map.
Applying multiple filters on a grey-scale image produces multiple feature maps.
Each filter should have a similar number of channels as the input image.
Each filter extracts one feature from the image, which is not determined by humans.
The network is trained to determine this feature.
Each filter produces only one feature map.
By applying several filters, the network can detect several features from the image.
The number of trainable parameters in a layer can be calculated by counting the number of filter parameters.
The mathematical equation of a filter is Y = w * X + b, making the convolution operation a linear function.
