Q&A

What are convolutional neural networks (CNNs)?

CNNs are neural networks specifically designed for image recognition and analysis. They use convolutions and pooling to extract features and recognize patterns in images.

How do convolutional neural networks surpass human capabilities in image recognition?

CNNs have a deeper architecture and the ability to learn from large datasets, allowing them to recognize intricate patterns and classify images with high accuracy.

What is the role of convolutional layers in CNNs?

Convolutional layers apply filters to input images, detecting features and creating feature maps that capture different aspects of the image.

What is the purpose of pooling layers in CNNs?

Pooling layers downsample the feature maps, reducing the dimensionality and preserving important information for further processing.

How are dense layers connected to the classifier in CNNs?

Dense layers are fully connected layers that take the output from the convolutional and pooling layers and use it as input to classify and detect objects in the image.
