Layer Input

The forward two-dimensional convolution layer accepts the input described below. Pass the Input ID as a parameter to the methods that provide input for your algorithm. For more details, see Algorithms.

Input ID

Input

data

Pointer to tensor X of size n1 × n2 × n3 × n4 that stores the input data for the forward two-dimensional convolution layer. This input can be an object of any class derived from Tensor.

weights

Pointer to tensor K of size nKernels × m2 × m3 × m4 that stores a set of kernel weights. This input can be an object of any class derived from Tensor.

biases

Pointer to tensor B of size nKernels that stores a set of biases. This input can be an object of any class derived from Tensor. If you pass a null pointer, the library does not apply a bias-related transformation.

Layer Parameters

For common parameters of neural network layers, see Common Parameters.

In addition to the common parameters, the forward two-dimensional convolution layer has the following parameters:
