Convolutional Neural Network

Model

A neural network architecture that applies small, shared filters across an input, most often an image, to detect local patterns such as edges and textures regardless of where in the input they appear; the standard architecture behind most modern image recognition.

Facts
Origin Year
1980 1
Core Principle
Features are learned through filter (kernel) optimization, with many neurons sharing the same filter. 1

Invented

Yann LeCun, Pioneers

Yann LeCun developed the convolutional neural network architecture, demonstrated in his LeNet work on handwritten digit recognition in the late 1980s and 1990s.
