Abstract
Convoulutional Neural Networks (CNNs) exhibit extraordinary performance on a variety of machine learning tasks. However, their mathematical properties and behavior are quite poorly understood. There is some work, in the form of a framework, for analyzing the operations that they perform. The goal of this project is to present key results from this theory, and provide intuition for why CNNs work.
