16 Convolutional Neural Networks

This chapter is all about a deep learning technique called convolution. Among its uses, convolution has become the standard method for classifying, manipulating, and generating images. Convolution is easy to use in deep learning because it can be easily encapsulated in a convolution layer (also called a convolutional layer). In this chapter, we look at the key ideas behind convolution and the related techniques we use to make convolution work in practice. We will see how to arrange a series of these operations to create a hierarchy of operations, which turns a series of simple operations into a powerful tool. ...
