Kernel Size

Kernel size, the spatial extent of a filter in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), is a critical hyperparameter influencing model performance and efficiency. Current research focuses on optimizing kernel size selection, including adaptive methods that dynamically adjust kernel size based on input data characteristics and novel architectures employing oversized kernels to capture long-range dependencies. These advancements aim to improve accuracy and efficiency in various applications, such as time series classification, image deblurring, and medical image super-resolution, particularly within resource-constrained environments like embedded systems and FPGA-based accelerators.
