Preferred Label : Convolutional Neural Networks;
MeSH definition : Artificial neural networks designed to automatically learn features through the use
of sequence of layers which transform one volume to the next. Convolutional neural
networks initially produce a feature map by use of convolution layers consisting of
a set of learnable filters convolved with input, i.e., having smaller widths and heights
and the same depth as that of input volume.;
Définition CISMeF : A specialized deep neural network architecture that consists of one or more convolution
layers that is suited for processing grid-like data, such as images. In a convolution
layer, a “filter” (window or template) slides over regions of the input image to identify
low-level patterns (e.g., edges) by applying convolution (a mathematical dot operation
applied to the input data). Different filters can be applied to extract different
features, such as edges, textures, or curves in images. Additionally, CNNs can include
pooling layers, whose function is to reduce the feature dimensionality while retaining
relevant features. These convolution and pooling layers get stacked on top of each
other to enable this network to build up a hierarchical understanding of patterns
and makes CNNs effective at tasks like image recognition and computer vision. An important
aspect of this network is its ability to conserve spatial information of the original
input while still performing the feature extraction; Source: Adapted from: Gu, J., Wang, Z., Kuen, J., Ma, L., Shahroudy, A., Shuai, B.,
