Persian handwritten digit recognition is one of the important topics of image processing which significantly considered by researchers due to its many applications. The most important challenges in Persian handwritten digit recognition is the existence of various patterns in Persian digit writing that makes the feature extraction step to be more complicated.Since the handcraft feature extraction methods are complicated processes and their performance level are not stable, most of the recent studies have concentrated on proposing a suitable method for automatic feature extraction. In this paper, an automatic method based on machine learning is proposed for high-level feature extraction from Persian digit images by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). After that, a non-linear multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for data classification instead of fully connected layer in final layer of CNN. The proposed method has been applied to HODA dataset and obtained 99.56% of recognition rate. Experimental results are comparable with previous state-of-the-art methods

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 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.
