Yann LeCun, Léon Bottou, Yoshua Bengio, and Patrick Haffner deployed LeNet-5, a pioneering deep convolutional neural network (CNN) designed to automate bank check processing. By implementing spatial hierarchies, weight sharing, and subsampling layers, LeNet-5 read millions of handwritten digits with near-perfect accuracy, proving that multilayer networks could master real-world visual data.
