A Gentle Introduction to Convolutional Neural Networks

What is a convolution and what are convolutional networks

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN or ConvNets) are one of the key components in the success of Deep Learning and the new Artificial Intelligence revolution.

They are especially advantageous in tasks such as object detection, scene understanding and, even, natural language processing.

In this letter, I will explain what CNNs are, what is the intuition b…
