Hi,

On the “What you should remember” section after exercise 4 pool forward, it is stated that:
“A convolution extracts features from an input image by taking the dot product between the input data and a 3D array of weights (the filter).”

Shouldn’t a convolution is an element-wise multiplication between input and filter?
