Need help getting started with Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV?
Once you have OpenCV installed on your Windows system all code examples included in my tutorials should work (just understand that I cannot provide support for them if you are using Windows).
Ultra-Wide Deep Nets and the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK)
These kernels correspond to infinitely wide deep networks whose parameters are chosen randomly, and only the top (classification) layer is trained by gradient descent.
