An early layered neural network for recognizing patterns in images.
Neocognitron is like spotting a cat in a messy sticker book. First whiskers, then ears, then: yep, cat.
It came before CNNs. It helped image AI build small clues into bigger shapes.
CNN
Neocognitron was an early ancestor of CNN.
LeNet-5
LeNet-5 followed its layered path for image recognition.
Neural-network
Neocognitron was an early neural network inspired by vision.
Computer Vision
Neocognitron aimed to help machines spot patterns in pictures.
