Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN or ConvNet) by Sunny Solanki

The convolutional neural network is a type of artificial neural network which has proven giving very good results for visual imagery over the last few years. Over the years many version of convolutional neural network has been designed to solve many tasks as well as to win image net competitions. Any artificial neural network which uses the convolution layer in its architecture can be considered as ConvNet. ConvNets typically start with recognizing smaller patterns/objects in data and later on combines these patterns/objects further using more convolution layers to predict the whole object. Yann Lecun developed the first successful ConvNet by applying backpropagation to it during the 1990s called LeNet.
