Understanding Convolutional Neural Networks

A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a class of deep, feed-forward artificial neural networks most commonly applied to analyzing visual imagery. The architecture of these networks was loosely inspired by biological neurons that communicate with each other and generate outputs dependent on the inputs. Though work on CNNs started in the early 1980s, they only became popular with recent technology advancements and computational capabilities that allow the processing of large amounts of data and the training of sophisticated algorithms in a reasonable amount of time.

Building a document understanding pipeline with Google Cloud

Document understanding is the practice of using AI and machine learning to extract data and insights from text and paper sources such as emails, PDFs, scanned documents, and more. In the past, capturing this unstructured or “dark data” has been an expensive, time-consuming, and error-prone process requiring manual data entry. Today, AI and machine learning have made great advances towards automating this process, enabling businesses to derive insights from and take advantage of this data that had been previously untapped.
