Max Pooling

/mæks ˈpuːlɪŋ/

A pooling operation that takes the maximum value from each window of the feature map.

In italiano: Max Pooling

Max pooling reduces spatial dimensions while preserving the strongest activations. Provides translation invariance and reduces computation. Most common pooling method in CNNs.

Examples

  • 2x2 max pooling
  • Downsampling by factor 2
  • Spatial invariance
