A convolutional neural network (CNN) is a neural network where one or more of the layers employs a convolution as the function applied to the output of the previous layer.
A CNN will learn to recognize patterns across space while RNN is useful for solving temporal data problems. CNNs have become the go-to method for solving any image data challenge while RNN is used for ideal for text and speech analysis.
Why would "CNN-LSTM" be another name for RNN, when it doesn't even have RNN in it? Can you clarify this? What is your knowledge of RNNs and CNNs? Do you know what an LSTM is?
The concept of CNN itself is that you want to learn features from the spatial domain of the image which is XY dimension. So, you cannot change dimensions like you mentioned.

Fully convolution networks A fully convolution network (FCN) is a neural network that only performs convolution (and subsampling or upsampling) operations. Equivalently, an FCN is a CNN without fully connected layers. Convolution neural networks The typical convolution neural network (CNN) is not fully convolutional because it often contains fully connected layers too (which do not perform the ...
You can use CNN on any data, but it's recommended to use CNN only on data that have spatial features (It might still work on data that doesn't have spatial features, see DuttaA's comment below). For example, in the image, the connection between pixels in some area gives you another feature (e.g. edge) instead of a feature from one pixel (e.g. color). So, as long as you can shaping your data ...
