What is the purpose of the pooling layer in a CNN?
  1. To increase the dimensionality of the data
  2. To reduce the spatial size of the representation
  3. To apply non-linear transformations
  4. To connect neurons in the network

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of the pooling layer in a CNN?
  • Step 1: Understand that a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) processes images by using layers.
  • Step 2: Know that the pooling layer is one of these layers in a CNN.
  • Step 3: Learn that the pooling layer takes the output from the previous layer and reduces its size.
  • Step 4: Realize that by reducing the size, the pooling layer helps to make the network faster and less complex.
  • Step 5: Remember that this reduction in size also helps to decrease the number of calculations the network has to do.
