Google 2025 recap: Research breakthroughs of the year

were first introduced for images, and for images they are often easy to understand. A filter slides over pixels and detects edges, shapes, or textures. You can read this article I wrote earlier to understand how CNNs work for images with Excel. For text, the idea is the same. Instead of pixels, we slide filters …
