CNN
A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a class of deep neural network most commonly applied to analyzing visual imagery. CNNs use mathematical convolution operations to extract hierarchical features from grid-like structures, making them ideal for image classification, object detection, and computer vision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are CNNs used for images instead of standard feedforward networks?▼
CNNs preserve spatial relationships between pixels and drastically reduce parameter count by sharing weights across filters.
Are CNNs still used in the era of Transformers?▼
Yes, though Vision Transformers (ViTs) are popular, CNNs remain highly efficient for real-time edge processing and hybrid vision models.
