In the “Machine Learning” chapter, we classified handwritten digits using the 8-by-8-pixel, low-resolution images from the Digits dataset bundled with Scikit-learn. That dataset is based on a subset of the higher-resolution MNIST handwritten digits dataset. Here, we’ll use MNIST to explore deep learning with a convolutional neural network35 (also called a convnet or CNN). Convnets are common in computer-vision applications, such as recognizing handwritten digits and characters, and recognizing objects in images and video. They’re also used in non-vision applications, such as natural-language processing and recommender systems.
