چکیده

This paper evaluates the use of the conventional architecture feedforward MLP (multiple layer perceptron) and class-modular for the handwriting recognition and it also compares the results obtained with previous works in terms of recognition rate. This work presents a feature set in full detail to work with handwriting recognition. The experiments showed that the class-modular architecture is better than conventional architecture. The obtained average recognition rates were 77.08% using the conventional architecture and 81.75% using the class-modular.

A class-modular feedforward neural network for handwriting recognition

Since the conventional feedforward neural networks for character recognition have been designed to classify a large number of classes with one large network structure, inevitably it poses the very complex problem of determining the optimal decision boundaries for all the classes involved in a high-dimensional feature space. Limitations also exist in several aspects of the training and recogniti...
