The title needs to be changed so brains recognize it as such. It either needs a preceding adjective or letter indicating what type of convolutional network it is.

The other option is spelling it out.

Most people will read CNN as the news channel. Even those familiar with neural networks.

yeah, i read it exactly as CNN == Cable News Network and was confused for while...

I don't think it needs to be changed. I also read it as the news channel, wondered how that would make sense, and guessed it was the other sort of CNN. It's confusing but not misleading.

Not everyone is from the US...

A significant part are though and it would be helpful for that segment.

We get CNN.com outside the US as well.

Not even close to being American and still see CNN as the News Network.

Agree that title should be changed.

I'm not from Europe, but if I saw "BBC converts night images to perfect daylight in ~1 second", I would assume it meant the British Broadcasting Corporation. CNN is just as big of a name. His point is absolutely relevant.

Said differently: The percentage of people who are not from the US - but are aware of CNN as the Cable News Network, is higher than the percentage of people who are not machine learning experts - but are aware of CNN as a Convolutional Neural Network

1. Not everyone works with ML ornis familiar with different types of neural nets

2. CNN exists outside of the US

The new title is even worst tho. "Learning to See in the Dark" gives absolutely no clue on what's the article is about.

People will have the intellectual curiosity to click in to see what the title means anyways, I don't see how this is a problem in need of a fix.
