Study Notes

Motivations for CNNs

Traditional dense networks struggle with large image data; a single 64 x 64 RGB image contains 12,288 integers.
Using a dense layer with 128 neurons can lead to over 1.5 million parameters in the first layer, increasing the risk of overfitting.
Memory constraints on GPUs make training large models challenging.
CNNs offer a solution with significantly fewer parameters.

Convolutional Kernels

Convolutional kernels, like edge detectors, emphasize features such as edges in an image.
Prior to CNNs, convolution kernels were manually crafted; CNNs allow networks to learn these kernels via gradient descent.

Padding

Convolutions typically reduce output size; padding maintains input size by adding zeros.
"Valid" padding adds no zeros, while "Same" padding ensures output size matches input size.

Strided Convolutions

Stride affects how the kernel moves, enabling faster downsampling, reducing overfitting, and improving computational efficiency.
Larger strides increase the receptive field, the amount of information a pixel holds from the original image.

Dilated Convolutions

Introduces zeros within the kernel, increasing its receptive field without increasing the number of parameters.

Convolutions with Channels

In CNNs, processing multi-channel images (e.g., RGB) involves producing single output channels from each filter.
Multiple filters increase output channels by concatenating results along the channel axis.

Example of Parameters in a Conv Layer

A convolution kernel of size (3,3) applied to RGB images with 10 filters results in significantly fewer parameters than dense layers, typically under 1 million.

Typical CNN Structure

Common kernel sizes are 3, 5, or 7; stride should be less than kernel size.
As layers increase, height and width typically decrease while the number of channels increases.
Flattening and Dense layers are included for classification or regression tasks.

Pooling Layers

Pooling layers reduce input size without learning parameters; they apply operations such as max pooling or average pooling.
Pooling operates per channel, maintaining the number of channels.

Why CNNs are Good for Images

CNNs exhibit translational invariance, detecting features regardless of location.
Connections are sparse, with each output pixel summarizing information from only a subset of inputs.

Residual Networks (ResNets)

ResNets address challenges of deeper networks, including performance drops and vanishing gradients.
Skip connections help gradients propagate effectively, supporting deeper architectures.

Computational Cost of CNNs

While CNNs reduce model parameters, they may incur higher computational costs due to numerous input and output filters.

Computational Cost Mitigations

1 x 1 Convolution layers drastically cut computational costs.
Depthwise separable convolutions also reduce computational load significantly.

Data Augmentation

Enhances model generalization; techniques include random brightness, contrast, cropping, flipping, hue adjustments, and JPEG quality variations.

Image Autoencoders

Autoencoders consist of an encoder that compresses data into embeddings and a decoder that reconstructs the original input.
Applications include data exploration, denoising by extracting non-noisy features, and facilitating semi-supervised learning via embeddings without labels.
