What are you wearing? Building a CNN model to predict articles of clothing.

In this article, we will explore the architecture of a CNN, talk about what convolution does, and build a functioning model to predict Fashion MNIST data with a 90% accuracy among 10 classes. So what is this special process that CNNs get their name from? When we Convolve over an image we apply matrix multiplication using another "Kernel" matrix which has some weights for the values (these are learned during the training process). In the above example we have a 5X5 image and a 3X3 Kernel. Stride is how much to move the Kernel each time, by default the stride is 1 so we only move it one column or row over each time.
