Infancy? Convolutional neural networks have like 20 years. It is just recently when we were able to use bigger models and more data in GPUs when it becomes something main stream and a lot of people are doing things with it. So it is more like in its maturity. Now it is a field growing slowly but steady. Don't expect big things but small increment also every year (which by the way are awesome stuff)
