Why HN links it

HN commenters link this blog's posts on convolutional neural networks, a beginner's guide to CNNs, a low-light image paper write-up, and machine learning predictions for March Madness. They are cited as background references.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

  3. > I thought it was interesting the same technique (convolution) was used in two different applications: photoshop/gimp for image filters and in convolutional neural networks (CNNs). What is the purpose of convolution in CNNs? IMO, convolution in CNNs would be better denoted as correlation. In CNNs the feature maps are convolved (correlated), eg swept over the image and multiple at each spot with the results being ac…
