Convolutional neural networks are a class of machine learning algorithms that have proven rather powerful in the analysis of images. Relying on principles inspired by our own visual system, they capitalize on a combination of filters that learn the spatial correlation structure of the training data, and a hierarchical organization that allows a gradual transformation of the information from the input into a representation that lends itself more readily to interpretation.
In this lesson, we will learn first about the basic principles underlying learning by neural networks, and then focus in on convolutional neural networks with a particular application in image classification.
