Convolutional Neural Networks: Simplified

If you are getting into Artificial Intelligence, chances are that you've heard of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and were overwhelmed by it, or maybe you just want to know what they are. In this article, I will try to explain CNN in layman's terms. Let us take an analogy to understand Convolutional Neural Networks. Imagine you have been given the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and told to identify what it depicts, and there is no cover image to help you. Say you find a few pieces, that when put together, form eyes.
