Questions & Answers

Q: What is the role of filters in convolutional neural network layers?

Filters in CNN layers are used to perform convolutions on input volumes, extracting features to create output volumes through a series of computations.

Q: How do biases contribute to the output of convolutional neural network layers?

Biases in CNN layers add a real number to each element in the output volume, introducing non-linearity and further transforming the data in the neural network.

Q: What is the significance of non-linearity in convolutional neural network layers?

Non-linearity, applied after biases, enhances the output by introducing complex patterns and features, enabling the network to learn and make more accurate predictions.

Q: How does the number of filters impact the output volume of a convolutional neural network layer?

The number of filters in CNN layers determines the dimensions of the output volume, as each filter contributes to a distinct feature map in the network.
