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.
