Now that we've seen the basic architecture of CNNs, let's take a look at modern, state-of-the-art CNNs. We'll do a walk-through of the evolution of CNNs, and see how they have changed over the years. We'll not go into the technical and mathematical details behind the implementation. Instead, we'll provide an intuitive overview of some of the most important CNNs.
A review of modern CNNs
LeNet (1998)
The first CNN was developed by Yann LeCun in 1998, with the architecture known as LeNet. LeCun was the first to prove that CNNs were effective in image recognition, particularly in the domain of handwritten digits recognition. However, throughout the 2000s, few scientists managed to build on the work done...
