Inspiration
Convolutional Neural Networks are a kind of network inspired by the cats’ visual cortex.
A cat visual cortex is made of 2 distinct type of cells:
- simple cells which specializes into edge detection.
- complex cells with larger receptive field which are sensitive to a small region of the visual field and are less sensitive to the exact position of edges.
Convolutional neural network are inspired by the latter type of cells. Each neuron is sensitive to a small region of the input data and less to a specific position of a pattern.
