Convolutional Neural Network / CNN
The type of nervous network that learns by scanning the traces of raditional images with filters.
The most important advantage of CNN is "parameter sharing": since the same filter image is used in every region, the model can be trained with much less parameters compared to a fully connected network, and no matter where an object is displayed. These features have made CNNs a standard approach in tasks such as image classification, object detection and medical image analysis for many years; architectures such as AlexNet and ResNet are among kilometers stones of the area. In recent years, attention-based architectures such as Vision Transformer have captured the performance of CNNs in some tasks, CNNs are widely used due to their efficiency and good understood behaviour.
