Algorithms CNNs were used as early as the 1990’s to automatically detect handwriting on checks[12]. CNNs are an iteration of artificial neural networks also called “backpropagation neuralnetworks” [13]. CNNs use “convolutional layers” that apply matrices (filters) of different valuescalled “weights” onto an image using a convolution operation. It is speculated that earlier layersin the neural network can identify low-level features such as edge gradients. With every newlayer

SEhad a positive correlation with OE and SS and a negative correlation with BR. OE waspositively correlated with SS, interests, and CG while negatively correlated with BR. IN waspositively correlated with CG and negatively correlated with BR. These results align with theresults of Inda et al.’s (2013) paper, which found that SE, OE, and IN mediate the effect ofcontextual supports and BR on college students’ intentions to embark on a degree inengineering.
