#09 Convolutional Autoencoder Default 1 Filter?

[dvisztempacct]

Hi, thanks for sharing these,

I noticed in the convolutional autoencoder that the default number of filters for the first layer is 1:

Why is that? Wouldn't that mean we aren't interested in identifying features in the first layer and just letting the model find a suitable "brush" that works everywhere in that layer?

Thanks again!
