What is the purpose of down-sampling in a convolutional neural network?

To reduce the network parameters and prevent overfitting (correct)

To increase the number of network parameters

To apply non-linearity to the convolution layer output

To increase the size of the feature maps

What is the equation for the output of a convolution layer?

hk = f(Wk ∗ x - bk)

hk = f(Wk ∗ x + bk) (correct)

hk = Wk ∗ x - bk

hk = Wk ∗ x + bk
