Abstract

In this chapter, we will look at the main components of a convolutional neural network (CNN): kernels and pooling layers. We will then look at how a typical network looks. We will then try to solve a classification problem with a simple convolutional network and try to visualize the convolutional operation. The purpose of this is to try to understand, at least intuitively, how the learning works.
