Local pattern

A local pattern is a regularity or feature occurring within a limited neighborhood of an input rather than across the entire input.

How 2 Manning books explain it

Deep Learning with Python, Third Edition

A pattern that occurs within a limited neighborhood of the input rather than across the whole input space.

How it is used
Uses local neighborhoods to make convolutional image recognition efficient and position-tolerant.
How deep it goes
Defines local patches, explains shared transformations and feature maps, and connects them to hierarchical visual learning.
Examples
Uses 3 × 3 image windows, edges, textures, RGB channels, and increasingly complex visual concepts.
What you can do after
Understand how convolutional layers detect and combine local image features across an input.

Math and Architectures of Deep Learning

A pattern that is confined to a small neighborhood of the input and can be captured by a local operator such as convolution.

How it is used
Explains how convolutional layers detect nearby structure in image, video, curve, and volumetric input data.
How deep it goes
Defines local connectivity and relates it to kernels, stride, padding, and dimensionality without deriving convolution algebra.
Examples
Uses ruler, tile, and brick analogies alongside smoothing, edge detection, and motion detection applications.
What you can do after
Apply local connectivity to understand how convolutional layers process arrays and produce outputs.
