This week we take a look at the need for pooling layers within CNNs as well as discussing the regularization of CNNs using large-scale neuroscience data.

We are also very pleased to have Rosanne Liu join us on the show. Rosanne is a senior research scientist and a founding member of Uber AI. She is interested in making neural networks a better place and also currently runs a deep learning reading group called "Deep Learning: Classics and Trends".
