AI Definitions: Convolutional neural networks
/Convolutional neural networks (CNNs or ConvNet) – These deep learning artificial neural networks, often used in computer vision for object recognition, are trained on thousands of images. It works similarly to how our human eye processes images. The network is trained to recognize "kernels," which are tiny pieces of an image. However, they can fail when they encounter the same objects under new lighting conditions or from a different angle. CNNs play a role in unlocking our phones with our faces, identifying road signs in self-driving cars, and automatically tagging people in our photo galleries. CNNs were first introduced in 1989 by NYU professor Yann LeCun and have been used with autonomous vehicles and security camera systems.
