Machine Learning Glossary

Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Computer Graphics Glossary

C

• Convolutional neural network or CNN - A neural network architecture for image data, or other data on a regular grid.

D

• Dilation - how spread out a CNN kernel is. See Convolutional neural network.

F

• Fully connected network - The standard neural network model where each layer is a sequence of nodes.

G

• Graph Neural Network

I

• Intersection over Union - A metric for computing the accuracy of bounding box prediction.

M

• Multilayer perceptron - See Fully connected network.

N

• Normalized Device Coordinates - In images, pixels are in coordinates of \(\displaystyle [-1, 1]\times[-1, 1] \).

S

• Stride - how far the CNN kernel in terms of input pixels moves between output pixels.

T

• Transformer (machine learning model) - A neural network architecture for sequence data.
