One of the coolest things that Neural Networks can do is classify images, and this is often done with a type of Neural Network called a Convolutional Neural Network (or CNN for short). In this StatQuest, we walk through how Convolutional Neural Networks work, one step at a time, and highlight the main ideas behind filters and pooling.
NOTE: This StatQuest assumes that you are already familiar with...
The main ideas behind neural networks: youtu.be/CqOfi41LfDw
The main ideas behind backpropagation: youtu.be/IN2XmBhILt4
Neural networks with multiple inputs and outputs: youtu.be/83LYR-1IcjA
