What are Convolutions? in 1min Convolutions in deep learning can be visualized as a sliding window or grid, known as a kernel (or filter), that moves across an input image. This operation is fundamental to convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The behavior of this sliding mechanism is primarily controlled by three key hyperparameters Kernel size defines the dimensions (3x3, 7x7, etc.) of the sliding window. It dictates the local receptive field, or the area of the input image that the kernel pro
