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—and even then, they often fail when they encounter the same objects under new lighting conditions or from a different angle. CNNs were first introduced in 1989 by NYU professor Yann LeCun and have been used with autonomous vehicles and security camera systems.
