Chapter 9 – Getting Your Neurons to Work

1. A convolutional neural network (CNN) can only process images. (Yes | No)

The answer is no. CNNs can process words, sounds, or video sequences, to classify and predict. 

2. A kernel is a preset matrix used for convolutions. (Yes | No)

The answer is yes and no. There are many preset matrices used to process images such as the one used in edge_detection_Kernel.py in this chapter. However, in this chapter, kernels were created randomly and then the network trained their weights to fit the target images.

3. Does pooling have a pooling matrix or is it random?

A pooling matrix has a size that is an option when the pooling layer is added to the model, such as a 2x2 pooling window.

4. The dataset always ...
