Digit recognition is one of the applications of deep learning, which appears in many fields. CNN network enables us to recognize handwritten digits. Also, It can process various types of data. As we stack more layers in CNN network, we expect more performance improvements. In this paper, we added a convolution layer. as a result, we achieved an accuracy improvement from 76.96% to 98.87%, which is a nearly 21.81% increase.

In this paper, I propose an algorithm to generate an input digit image for a digit recognition system by detecting a digit string in an image and segmenting the digits constituting the digit string. The proposed algorithm detects blobbed digit string through blob detection, designates a digit string area and corrects digit string skew using the detected blob information. And the proposed algorithm corrects the digit skew and determines the boundary points for the digit segmentation in the corrected digit sequence using three CPgraphs newly defined in this paper. In digit segmentation experiments using the image group including digit strings printed with a range of the font sizes and the image group including handwritten digit strings, the proposed algorithm successfully segments 100% and 90% of the digits in each image group.

Handwriting recognition research is mainly focused on deep learning techniques and has achieved a great performance in the last few years. Especially, handwritten Thai digit recognition has been an important research area including generic digital numerical information, such as Thai official government documents and receipts. However, it becomes also a challenging task for a long time. For resolving the unavailability of a large Thai digit dataset, this paper constructs our dataset and learns them with some variants of the CNN model; Decision tree, K-nearest neighbors, Alexnet, LaNet-5, and VGG (11,13,16,19). The experimental results using the accuracy metric show the maximum accuracy of 98.29% when using VGG 13 with batch normalization.

본 논문에서는 접촉된 숫자들에 대한 효과적인 분할 기반 인식 방법을 제안하였다. 접촉 숫자들을 연결획 정보와 분할 후보점을 기반으로 여섯 개의 접촉 유형으로 구분하였다. 전체 후보 분할점을 해석하여 네 개의 최종 후보 분할점을 도출하므로써 과 분할로 인한 오인식을 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. 이 방법에서는 다수의 분할 후보점으로부터 신뢰성이 높은 소규모의 분할 후보점들에 대해 우선권을 부여하는 방식으로 최종 분할 후보점들을 찾고 인식을 시도하기 때문에 전통적으로 분할기반 방식의 인식에서 초래되는 오분할에 의한 치명적인 오인식률을 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. NIST 접촉숫자 데이터 베이스에 대한 실험 결과 92.5%의 비교적 높은 인식 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose the design of Radial Basis Function Neural Network based on PCA in order to recognize handwritten digits. The proposed pattern classifier consists of the preprocessing step of PCA and the pattern classification step of pRBFNNs. In the preprocessing step, Feature data is obtained through preprocessing step of PCA for minimizing the information loss of given data and then this data is used as input data to pRBFNNs. The hidden layer of the proposed classifier is built up by Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) clustering algorithm and the connection weights are defined as linear polynomial function. In the output layer, polynomial parameters are obtained by using Least Square Estimation (LSE). MNIST database known as one of the benchmark handwritten dataset is applied for the performance evaluation of the proposed classifier. The experimental results of the proposed system are compared with other existing classifiers.

A RAM-based neural network is a weightless neural network based on binary neural network(BNN) which is efficient neural network with a one-shot learning. RAM-based neural network has multiful information bits and store counts of training in BNN. Supervised learning based on the RAM-based neural network has the excellent performance in pattern recognition but in pattern categorization with unsupervised learning as unsuitable. In this paper, we propose a unsupervised learning algorithm in the RAM-based neural network to perform pattern categorization. By the proposed unsupervised learning algorithm, RAM-based neural network create categories depending on the input pattern by itself. Therefore, RAM-based neural network for supervised learning and unsupervised learning should proof of all possible complex models. The training data for experiments provided by the MNIST offline handwritten digits which is consist of 0 to 9 multi-pattern.

Although the self organizing map (SOM) is widely utilized in such fields of data visualization and topology preserving mapping, since it should have the topology fixed before trained, it has some shortcomings that it is difficult to apply it to practical problems, and classification capability is quite low despite better clustering performance. To overcome these points this paper proposes the dynamic topology preserving self-organizing map(DTSOM) that dynamically splits the output nodes on the map and trains them, and attempts to improve the classification capability by combining multiple DTSOMs K-Winner method has been applied to combine DTSOMs which produces K outputs with winner node selection method. This produces even better performance than the conventional combining methods such as majority voting weighting, BKS Bayesian, Borda, Condorect and reliability sum. DTSOM remedies the shortcoming of determining the topology in advance, and the classification rate increases significantly by combing multiple maps trained with different features. Experimental results with handwritten digit recognition indicate that the proposed method works out to problems of conventional SOM effectively so to improve the classification rate to 98.1%.

In this study, we introduce a design of Fuzzy RBFNNs-based digit recognition system using the incremental-PCA in order to recognize the handwritten digits. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a widely-adopted dimensional reduction algorithm, but it needs high computing overhead for feature extraction in case of using high dimensional images or a large amount of training data. To alleviate such problem, the incremental-PCA is proposed for the computationally efficient processing as well as the incremental learning of high dimensional data in the feature extraction stage. The architecture of Fuzzy Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN) consists of three functional modules such as condition, conclusion, and inference part. In the condition part, the input space is partitioned with the use of fuzzy clustering realized by means of the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm. Also, it is used instead of gaussian function to consider the characteristic of input data. In the conclusion part, connection weights are used as the extended diverse types in polynomial expression such as constant, linear, quadratic and modified quadratic. Experimental results conducted on the benchmarking MNIST handwritten digit database demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed digit recognition system when compared with other studies.

A RAM-based Neural Net is a weightless neural network based on binary neural network. 3-D neural network using this paper is binary neural network with multiful information bits and store counts of training. Recognition method by MRD technique is based on the supervised learning. Therefore neural network by itself can not distinguish between the categories and well-separated categories of training data can achieve only through the performance. In this paper, unsupervised learning algorithm is proposed which is trained existing 3-D neural network without distinction of data, to distinguish between categories depending on the only input training patterns. The training data for proposed unsupervised learning provided by the NIST handwritten digits of MNIST which is consist of 0 to 9 multi-pattern, a randomly materials are used as training patterns. Through experiments, neural network is to determine the number of discriminator which each have an idea of the handwritten digits that can be interpreted.
