  1. Machine Learning ✓ understood

    Building systems that learn patterns from data instead of following hand-written rules, getting better at a task as they see more examples.

  2. Neural Network ✓ understood

    A computational model inspired by biological neural networks, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers that process information through weighted connections.

  3. Convolution ✓ understood

    A mathematical operation that applies filters/kernels to input data to extract features like edges, textures, and patterns.

Neural Networks Kernel A small matrix of weights used in convolutional layers to detect specific features or patterns in input data. Neural Networks Feature Map The output of applying a convolutional filter to an input, representing detected features at various spatial locations. Neural Networks Stride The step size by which a convolutional filter or pooling window moves across the input. Neural Networks Convolutional Neural Network A neural network that scans images with small learned filters, reusing the same weights at every position to build up from edges to whole objects.
