Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) Tutorial with Python

Check out our editorial recommendations on the best machine learning books. A CNN is a particular kind of multi-layer neural network [2] to process data with an apparent, grid-like topology. The base of its network bases on a mathematical operation called convolution. Fundamentally, machine learning algorithms use matrix multiplication, but in contrast, CNNs use convolutions in place of matrix multiplications at least in one layer -- a convolution is a specialized kind of linear operation. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are undoubtedly the most popular deep learning architecture.
