What is CNN?

Deep Learning

CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) — A neural network architecture designed for processing grid-like data (images, video). Uses convolutional filters to detect spatial patterns like edges, textures, and objects.

FAQ

What is a CNN?

A neural network that uses convolutional filters to process images. It detects patterns like edges, shapes, and objects hierarchically.

Are CNNs still relevant with transformers?

Yes. CNNs are still faster and more efficient for many vision tasks. Vision Transformers (ViT) are catching up but CNNs remain practical.
