    Abstract A new search for two-neutrino double-beta (2νββ) decay of136Xe to theexcited state of136Ba is performed with the full EXO-200 dataset. A deep learning-based convolutional neural network is used to discriminate signal from background events. Signal detection efficiency is increased relative to previous searches by EXO-200 by more than a factor of two. With the addition of the Phase II dataset taken with an upgraded detector, the median 90% confidence level half-life sensitivity of 2νββdecay to thestate of136Ba isyr using a total136Xe exposure of 234.1 kg yr. No statistically significant evidence for 2νββdecay to thestate is observed, leading to a lower limit ofyr at 90% confidence level, improved by 70% relative to the current world's best constraint.
