1. Pooling Layers in CNNs
A pooling layer is a down-sampling layer in a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) usually placed after a convolutional layer. It reduces the spatial dimensions (width × height) of the input feature maps while retaining the most critical structural information.
Types of Pooling Layers
- Max Pooling: Extracts the maximum value from the region covered by the sliding filter. Purpose: Captures dominant features like sharp edges and bright pixels.
- Average Pooling: Computes the average
