The document discusses the ImageNet classification using deep convolutional neural networks, specifically focusing on AlexNet architecture which features 650,000 neurons and 60 million parameters. Key techniques to improve model performance, such as rectified linear units (ReLU), dropout for overfitting prevention, and data augmentation, are highlighted, leading to a top-5 error rate of 15.4%. It also compares various models' performance on ImageNet validation and test sets, emphasizing the advancements made in image classification tasks since 2010.

6. AlexNet General Feature
● 650K neuron
● 60M Parameters
● 630M connections
● 7 hidden weight layers
● Rectified Linear Units(Relu)
● Dropout trick,
● Randomly extracted patches with the size of (224*224)

7. Rectified Linear Units (ReLUs)
● Very faster than rather than the classical activation
functions such as Tanh.
● Very computationally efficient
● Converges fast(it converges six time faster than
tanh)

Fig2.A four-layer convolutional neural network with ReLUs (solid line) reaches a
25% training error rate on CIFAR-10 six times faster than an equivalent network
with tanh neurons (dashed line). The learning rates for each net- work were chosen
independently to make train- ing as fast as possible. No regularization of any kind
was employed. The magnitude of the effect demonstrated here varies with network
architecture, but networks with ReLUs consistently learn several times faster than
equivalents with saturating neurons.

with specific probability.
● Double the number of iteration to
converge
● Learning more robust features
● Applied in the first two fully connected
layers

● Learning rate is setted 0.01 (equal for all layers
but, it divided based on validation error),
● Neuron biases in 2,4,5 layers and Fc layers
