1. Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn about pooling and padding techniques in convolutional neural networks (CNNs). CNNs are a type of deep learning model that can perform various tasks such as image classification, object detection, face recognition, and more. CNNs consist of multiple layers that process the input data and extract features that are relevant for the task. Two common types of layers in CNNs are convolutional layers and pooling layers.

Convolutional layers apply a set of filters to the input data and produce feature maps that capture the spatial information of…
