Convolutional neural networks
Deep learning architectures for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with convolutional layers and downsampling layers and weight replication began with the neocognitron introduced by Kunihiko Fukushima in 1979. Fukushima's CNN architecture also introduced max pooling, a popular downsampling procedure for CNNs. CNNs have become an essential tool for computer vision.
