چکیده

An efficient method for increasing the generalization capacity of neural character recognition is presented. The network uses a biologically inspired architecture for feature extraction and character classification. The numerical methods used are, however, optimized for use on massively parallel array processors. The method for training set construction, when applied to handwritten digit recognition, yielded a writer-independent recognition rate of 92%. The activation strength produced by network recognition is an effective statistical confidence measure of the accuracy of recognition. A method of using the activation strength for reclassification is described which when applied to handwritten digit recognition reduced substitutional errors to 2.2%.
