what are the types of layer in neural networks

Recipe Objective - what are the types of layer in neural networks.

Layers are backbone of neural networks. "Fully connected", "Convolution", "Deconvolution", and "Recurrent" layers are the most common and widely used layers in neural networks. Fully Connected layer connects one neuron to another neuron that is present in from layer to another layer. Convolution layer is used to detect different features in images and is the widely used layer in convolutional neural network. Deconvolutional layer unsamples data into higher resolution including features data. Recurrent layer is widely used for mapping inputs to outputs of different variety of dimensions.

A Deep Dive into the Types of Neural Networks

Explanation of Layers.

"Fully Connected" layer is computationally expensive during its growth in input. It results in a explosion of vector operations left for performance and poor scalability. It is used for classifying images using CNN for computer vision.

"Convolution" layer contains filter, kernel and patches which constitutes great mathematical computation in layer. It is used to analyze images for image recognition.

"Deconvolution" layer is used for unsampling the data, which can include feature maps or image data, to the higher resolution. It is used for unsampling images.

"Recurrent" layer is the basis of Recurrent Neural Networks which provides memory and sequential data as in natural language processeing. It is used for translating paragraph from one language to another, classifying sentiments into positive and negative.
