Overview
Neural network architecture that applies learnable convolutional filters to input data, exploiting spatial locality and translation invariance for efficient feature extraction.
Description
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) use sliding filter windows to extract local spatial features from input data. Key advantages over fully-connected networks include parameter sharing (same filter across all positions), local connectivity, and translation equivariance. TensorFlow.js Layers implements a comprehensive set of convolutional layers:
- Conv1D, Conv2D, Conv3D: Standard convolutions for 1D (temporal), 2D (spatial), and 3D (volumetric) data
- Conv2DTranspose, Conv3DTranspose: Transposed (upsampling) convolutions
- SeparableConv2D: Depthwise-separable convolutions for efficiency
- DepthwiseConv2D: Channel-wise independent convolutions
- ConvLSTM2D: Convolutions integrated into recurrent cells for spatiotemporal data
Usage
Use convolutional layers as the primary building blocks for image classification, object detection, segmentation, and any task involving spatial or temporal pattern recognition. Depthwise-separable variants (SeparableConv2D, DepthwiseConv2D) trade a small accuracy reduction for significant computational savings, suitable for mobile/edge deployment.
