LeNet: Convolutional Neural Networks

Yann LeCun demonstrated that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) could be trained with backpropagation to recognize handwritten digits. The refined LeNet-5 (1998) achieved 99%+ accuracy on MNIST and was deployed by banks to read checks — running in ATMs for years.
