Handwritten Digit

Handwritten character recognition is one of the practically important issues in pattern recognition applications. The applications of digit recognition include in postal mail sorting, bank check processing, form data entry, etc. The main problem lies within the ability on developing an efficient algorithm that can recognize hand written digits, which is submitted by users by the way of a scanner, tablet, and other digital devices. This paper presents an approach to off-line handwritten digit recognition based on different machine learning techniques. The main objective of this paper is to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the approached recognition of handwritten digits. Several machines learning algorithms (i.e. Multilayer Perceptron, Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Bayes Net, Random Forest, J48, and Random Tree) have been used for the recognition of digits using WEKA. The experimental results showed that the highest accuracy was obtained by Multilayer Perceptron with the value of 90.37%.

Handwritten Digit

Handwritten Digit Recognition is probably one of the most exciting works in the field of science and technology as it is a hard task for the machines to recognize the digits which are written by different people. The handwritten digits may not be perfect and also consist of different flavors. And there is a necessity for handwritten digit recognition in many real-time purposes. The widely used MNIST dataset consists of almost 60000 handwritten digits. And to classify these kinds of images, many machine learning algorithms are used. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of accuracies and performances of Support Vector Machines (SVM), Neural Networks (NN), Decision Tree (DT) algorithms using Microsoft Azure ML Studio.

Handwritten Digit

This paper summarizes the top state-of-the-art contributions reported on the MNIST dataset for handwritten digit recognition. This dataset has been extensively used to validate novel techniques in computer vision, and in recent years, many authors have explored the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and other deep learning techniques over this dataset. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first exhaustive and updated review of this dataset; there are some online rankings, but they are outdated, and most published papers survey only closely related works, omitting most of the literature. This paper makes a distinction between those works using some kind of data augmentation and works using the original dataset out-of-the-box. Also, works using CNNs are reported separately; as they are becoming the state-of-the-art approach for solving this problem. Nowadays, a significant amount of works have attained a test error rate smaller than 1% on this dataset; which is becoming non-challenging. By mid-2017, a new dataset was introduced: EMNIST, which involves both digits and letters, with a larger amount of data acquired from a database different than MNIST’s. In this paper, EMNIST is explained and some results are surveyed.
