  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.

  4. Feature Map ✓ understood

    The output of applying a convolutional filter to an input, representing detected features at various spatial locations.

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. Neural Networks Stride The step size by which a convolutional filter or pooling window moves across the input. Neural Networks Receptive Field The region of input that influences a particular neuron's output, growing larger in deeper layers of CNNs. Neural Networks Capsule Network An architecture using capsules (groups of neurons) that preserve spatial relationships, addressing limitations of CNNs.
