ConvNet from scratch: just lovely Numpy, Forward Pass |Part 1|

High level frameworks and APIs make it a lot easy for us to implement such a complex architecture but may be implementing them from scratch gives us the ground truth intuition of how actually ConvNets work. - Outline of the Article We’ll be implementing the building blocks of a convolutional neural network! Each function we’ll implement will have detailed instructions that will walk you through the steps needed: Zero-Padding Convolution forward Pooling forward We’ll use DLS jupyter notebooks to execute our modules. Check out DLS here. The fact is it comes with pre-installed libraries and frameworks required for Deep Learning. So it’s good to go for DL. _Hi everyone!

Zero padding Visualization Importance of zero-padding: It prevents the input from shrinking faster when passed in the deeper layers. Another special case is ‘same’ padding which even after convolution doesn’t decrement the input size. It also helps to prevent the loss of information at the borders of image otherwise information at the borders will have very less significance compared to the information inside the borders. let’s jump into the code: Single step of convolution In this part,we’ll implement a single step of convolution, in which we apply the filter to a single position of the input. This will be used to build a convolutional unit, which: Takes an input volume Applies a filter at every position of the input Outputs another volume (usually of different size) : with a filter of 2x2 and a stride of 1 (stride = amount you move the window each time you slide) Figure 2 Convolution operation Convolutional Neural Networks — Forward pass In the forward pass, we’ll take many filters and convolve them on the input. Each ‘convolution’ gives you a 2D matrix output. You will then stack these outputs to get a 3D volume: Pooling layer The pooling (POOL) layer reduces the height and width of the input. It helps reduce computation, as well as helps make feature detectors more . The two types of pooling layers are: invariant to its position in the input Max-pooling layer: slides an (f,f) window over the input and stores the max value of the window in the output. Average-pooling layer: slides an (f,f) window over the input and stores the average value of the window in the output.
