LeNet-5

Era: The Revival · 1990s–2010s

Yann LeCun developed LeNet-5, a CNN for handwritten digit recognition. LeNet-5 was among the first deep learning models deployed at scale commercially — used by AT&T/NCR for check reading starting in 1993 and by the US Postal Service for ZIP code recognition from the late 1990s.
