Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a class of deep neural networks primarily used for analyzing visual data. They leverage convolutional layers to automatically detect spatial hierarchies of features, making them highly effective for tasks like image classification, object detection, and segmentation.

CNNs are widely applied in industries including technology, healthcare, automotive, and security, where computer vision plays a critical role. Common applications include facial recognition, medical image analysis, autonomous driving systems, and visual search engines.

Professionals skilled in CNNs are expected to understand neural network architectures, image preprocessing techniques, and training methodologies such as backpropagation and optimization algorithms. They often work with frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras to design, train, and deploy models. Knowledge of GPU acceleration, transfer learning, and model evaluation metrics is also essential.

Design and train CNN models for image recognition and classification
Apply transfer learning using pre-trained architectures like ResNet or VGG
Optimize model performance through hyperparameter tuning and data augmentation
Work with large image datasets and preprocessing pipelines
Evaluate models using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score
Deploy trained models into production environments using APIs or embedded systems

This skill is commonly associated with roles such as Machine Learning Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, Data Scientist, and AI Researcher. Employers typically seek candidates with strong programming skills in Python, familiarity with deep learning libraries, and experience in solving real-world vision problems.
