I think you have to start to narrow your question before you get results. That is, for the use-case of fast moving sensor inputs (like in a car) or reviewing a million videos to find identifiable patterns, cNN performs, but other specific queries in domain knowledge or patterns of robotic movement, decision trees and random forest immediately differentiate themselves. So papers on specific topics that are not the specialty of cNN might demonstrate effectiveness, and leave it up to the reader/critic to compare widely against other uses overall.
