Why do we need sequence padding?
Padding is a special form of masking where the masked steps are at the start or the end of a sequence. Padding comes from the need to encode sequence data into contiguous batches: in order to make all sequences in a batch fit a given standard length, it is necessary to pad or truncate some sequences.
What is padding in CN?
Padding is a term relevant to convolutional neural networks as it refers to the amount of pixels added to an image when it is being processed by the kernel of a CNN. For example, if the padding in a CNN is set to zero, then every pixel value that is added will be of value zero.
Is padding necessary for CNN?
In order to work the kernel with processing in the image, padding is added to the outer frame of the image to allow for more space for the filter to cover in the image. Adding padding to an image processed by a CNN allows for a more accurate analysis of images.
Which layer is padding used in CNN?
Padding is simply a process of adding layers of zeros to our input images so as to avoid the problems mentioned above. This prevents shrinking as, if p = number of layers of zeros added to the border of the image, then our (n x n) image becomes (n + 2p) x (n + 2p) image after padding.
