What are the trainable parameters of convolutional layers?

Hello,
there is this thig that puzzles me.
Do convolutional layers have trainable parameters (weights)? If so, what are they?
From the lectures I understand that convolutional layers “just” perform some filtering on their input, but I also understand that the values on the filter matrix are predetermined. Then I can’t understand what it means to train the convolutional part on a network.

Thank you!

Hello,

This is a nice video from Prof Ng from Deep Leanring Specialization explaining your question.

Convolutional Layer. The values of the conv filter are not determined but to be learned as weights.
