In the previous chapters, I have repeatedly demonstrated how ANNs and CNNs can classify a variety of objects including handwritten numbers and clothing articles. In this chapter I will explore how ANNs and CNNs can predict an outcome. I have noticed repeatedly that DL practitioners often conflate classification and prediction. This is understandable because these tasks are closely intertwined. For instance, when presented with an unknown Image, a CNN will attempt to identify it as belonging to one of the classes it has been trained to recognize. This is clearly ...
