What is a Convolutional Neural Network OR CNN?
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a type of artificial neural network that is primarily used for image classification, object detection, and recognition tasks in computer vision. CNNs are designed to automatically detect features in images by using mathematical operations called convolutions, which help in extracting relevant patterns from the input image. These networks consist of multiple layers of interconnected nodes that perform various operations such as convolution, pooling, and fully connected layers to classify the input image. CNNs have been widely used in a variety of applications such as self-driving cars, facial recognition, medical imaging, and many more.
Topics Covered

❓FAQ
What is the difference between a traditional neural network and a CNN?
Traditional neural networks are typically used for tabular data, whereas CNNs are designed for image classification tasks. CNNs use convolutional layers to extract features from images, whereas traditional neural networks use fully connected layers to process tabular data.
What is a convolutional layer in a CNN?
A convolutional layer is a layer in a CNN that applies a set of filters to the input image, which helps in detecting specific features in the image such as edges, corners, and textures.
What is pooling in a CNN?
Pooling is a technique used in CNNs to downsample the output of convolutional layers. Pooling helps in reducing the spatial size of the feature maps, which makes the network computationally efficient and helps in preventing overfitting.
How are CNNs trained?
CNNs are typically trained using a dataset of labeled images. The network is presented with an input image, and the output is compared to the true label using a loss function. The network's parameters are then updated using backpropagation to minimize the loss function.
What are some common applications of CNNs?
CNNs have been used in a variety of applications, such as image classification, object detection, facial recognition, medical imaging, self-driving cars, and many more.
What is transfer learning in CNNs?
Transfer learning is a technique in CNNs where pre-trained models are used as a starting point for training a new model on a different dataset. Transfer learning helps in improving the accuracy of the model by leveraging the pre-trained features learned from a larger dataset.
Can CNNs be used for non-image data?
Yes, CNNs can be used for non-image data such as text data. In this case, the input data is represented as a matrix of word embeddings, and the convolutional layers are used to detect patterns in the text.

Great to have an explanation at a much slower speed. Most machine learning tutorials go so fast I can't absorb the information. Also a much a more smoother transition between general description and advanced concepts. Not just throwing in advanced concepts suddenly, so the viewer has to stop playback and start looking things up elsewhere to keep up. I particularly like the way the narrator goes back and checks the viewer has picked up on a concept.
