Pooling Layers

Summary

Downsampling operations (max pooling, average pooling) that reduce spatial dimensions while retaining important features — used between convolutional layers to control model size.

How to Learn This

1Add max pooling to a CNN and observe how output dimensions shrink.
2Learn the difference between max pooling and average pooling.
3Understand pooling's role in providing translation invariance.
