CNN Performance

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a cornerstone of modern image analysis, but their performance is impacted by various factors, driving current research. Active areas of investigation include improving CNN robustness against adversarial attacks and mitigating performance drops due to data inconsistencies (e.g., scanner variations in medical imaging or non-uniform illumination). Researchers are exploring architectural improvements, such as incorporating attention mechanisms, physics-guided rules, and optimized activation functions, to enhance accuracy and efficiency, while also developing methods for model compression and training-free optimization. These advancements are crucial for deploying reliable and efficient CNNs in diverse applications, from medical diagnosis to autonomous systems.
