20. Convolutional Neural Networks

Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder “why, why, why?”—Kurt Vonnegut

Chapter 19, “Neural Network Concepts,” gave a high-level overview of neural networks in the context of a fully connected neural network. You may have noticed that this approach was inefficient and perhaps thought that maybe there was a better way. This chapter focuses on a newer way of creating neural networks: convolutional neural networks. Convolutional neural networks are the reason why neural networks went from being inefficient curiosities to the cutting edge of computer science research.

History of Convolutional Neural Networks

The way that your brain processes information is an iterative process. When you see an ...
