In the world of computer vision, we’re always chasing two things: better accuracy and faster training. The conventional wisdom is to use the largest, highest-quality images you can from the very beginning. But what if… Train AI Models Faster and Better: The Power of Progressive Resizing
“You said pooling operations in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are like the magical zoom-out buttons.” “They reduce the size of feature maps while keeping the juicy bits of information. But how?” Peter asked. “There are… Types of Pooling operations
“Professor, why is CNN so effective?” “CNNs don’t just look at the whole image like a confused tourist—they zoom in on tiny patches (called kernels) and analyze them like Sherlock Holmes inspecting clues.” “Ok. This… Why CNNs are so effective
“What’s CNN workflow?” Alex asked. Peter replied, “If we have an input image represented as a tensor, like a 32×32 pixel image with 3 color channels (Red, Green, Blue) would have a shape of 32x32x3.”… The CNN Workflow
I’m building a super tall tower out of Lego blocks. Each block is a layer in a neural network. The taller the tower, the more complex patterns it can learn. But the problem is “Tall… ResNet – Residual Network
“Hey Alex, do you know what AlexNet is?” The little spirit asked Alex. “AlexNet is a game changer. Many years ago, everyone were using basic machine learning models to recognize images — and they were… AlexNet: The CNN That Changed Everything
“Wow. So this is the canvas that can do image classification and object detection?” Vixel asked. “Yes, I am VGG. VGG stands for Visual Geometry Group.” the Canvas replied. “More exactly, I’m VGG19, which means… VGGNet in the Magic Canvas
“Hey, Kernel. You work for Mr. Convolution, right? What do you do there?” The pixelated giant asked, to which the young Kernel response, “A convolution is a mathematical operation that blends two functions to produce… convolutional operations and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) — the backbone of modern computer vision
“I love sortering, especially beautiful mushrooms like this.” Jon thought “But I heard something on object detection trying to micmic human ability. It combines object localization to create bounding boxes around each object and then… Object Detection
“The world was a dazzling mosaic of colors and shapes, but I wonder if the magical computer to see it differently.” The little fairy thought and flew to the house of the Great Wizard. “It’s… Convolution & Filtering
