Study Notes
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
- The main objective of CNNs is to solve image classification problems, but they are also used in object detection, segmentation, and image generation.
- CNNs use convolutional layers with filters/kernels to extract features from input images without hand-engineering for feature extraction.
Convolutional Layers
- Applying one filter on a grey-scale image 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 (or the previous layer).
- Each filter extracts one feature from the image, and the network is trained to determine this feature.
- Each filter produces only one feature map, and applying several filters allows the network to detect several features from the image.
Filters and Feature Maps
- The mathematical equation of a filter is Y = w * X + b, making the convolution operation a linear function.
- The number of trainable parameters in a layer is calculated by counting the number of filter parameters.
CNN Principle
- CNNs use multiple layers of convolution to extract low-level features, which are then combined to form mid-level features, and finally, high-level representations.
- Fully connected layers help accurately classify images by translating the features from the last convolutional layer into meaningful classes or categories.
- Activation functions are used to add non-linearity to the network.
Pooling Layer
- The pooling layer reduces the dimensions of the feature maps obtained from the convolutional layers.
- Max pooling is usually better than average pooling.
Flatten Layer
- The flatten layer serves as a bridge between the convolutional layers and the fully connected layers.
- It enables the network to process the extracted features and make predictions based on them.
Fully Connected Layers
- Fully connected layers convert the number of neurons from the flattened feature map to match the number of output classes.
- The output layer is the final layer of the network, responsible for producing the classifications for the input data.
CNN Construction
- The CNN construction process involves: input layer, convolutional layer, pooling layer, flatten layer, fully connected layers, and output layer.
Model Creation
- The procedure for creating a CNN model involves: dataset preparation, selecting a suitable network architecture, selecting suitable network parameters, and training and updating weights to minimize loss.
Model Parameters
- Model parameters include: activation functions, learning rate, batch size, dropout rate, optimizer, weight initialization, and loss function.
- Batch size determines the number of examples processed before updating the model weights during training.
- Learning rate refers to the size of the step taken to update certain weights.
Training Loop Summary
- The training loop involves selecting a dataset, model, and weights, and then iterating through the forward pass, prediction, and backpropagation to update weights and minimize loss.
