Convolutional Neural Network Explained - ValueWalk

The popular name for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) these days is "Deep Learning" (DL) or Deep Neural Network (DNN). Researchers at Google, Facebook, IBM, Nvidia, and potentially a number of other companies are experimenting with their own variations of DL algorithms based on CNN. Twitter recently acquired a company called Magic Pony to increase focus on DL. Applications for DL range from vision processing for self-driving car applications to natural language processing and face/object recognition, for potential applications in security, advertising, gaming, VR/AR, etc. A neural network is a computational algorithm that is loosely based on mechanics of the learning process in animals.
