 \subsubsection{CNN}
+Convolutional neural networks are especially good model architectures for processing images, speech and audio signals.
+A CNN typically consists of Convolutional layers, pooling layers and fully connected layers.
+Convolutional layers are a set of learnable kernels (filters).
+Each filter performs a convolution operation by sliding a window over every pixel of the image.
+On each pixel a dot product creates a feature map.
+Convolutional layers capture features like edges, textures or shapes.
+Pooling layers sample down the feature maps created by the convolutional layers.
+This helps reducing the computational complexity of the overall network and help with overfitting.
+Common pooling layers include average- and max pooling.
+Finally, after some convolution layers the feature map is flattened and passed to a network of fully connected layers to perform a classification or regression task.
