📝 FAQ UPDATE
Course: machine-learning-zoomcamp
Section: module-8 (Module 8 covers CNNs and how Flatten determines the input size for the first Linear layer; the new content complements and extends this with modern, reliable techniques.)
Related Issue: #43
Question
Where does the number of input features to the first Linear layer after a CNN/Flatten come from, and how can I determine it reliably?
Decision Rationale
The existing FAQ already explains that the number of features after Flatten is the product of the last feature map dimensions, but the new proposal adds practical, updated methods (torchinfo.summary, dummy input passes, and LazyLinear) plus a concrete example, enriching the Module 8 CNN guidance.
