3.1 Introduction

Finding circles is a classification problem. Given a bunch of geometric shapes, we want the deep learning system to classify a shape as either a circle or something else. This is much simpler than classifying faces or digits. It is a good way to determine how well your classification system works. We will apply a convolutional network to the problem as it is the most appropriate for classifying image data.

In this chapter, we will first generate a set of image data. This will be ...
