[comp.ai.neural-nets] Handwritten character recognition

mufti@mussel.cis.ohio-state.edu (saad mufti) (03/01/91)

Thank you to everybody who sent me references on handwritten character
recognition using neural networks. I received a lot of requests, so I'm
posting what I got.

Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 13(5), Sept./Oct. 1983, pp. 826-834.

Please post the results, I;'m interested if anything new comes up.
Well-known beasts are the neocognitron, of course (see, e.g.,
Neural Networks, one of the first editions), and the work done
by Sara Solla, Denker, Le Cun, etc. at AT&T Bell Labs (see conference
proceedings, e.g., ICANN-90 (Paris)).  Other reference:
Rajavelu, Musavi, & Shirvaikar: "A neural network approach
to character recognition", Neural Networks V 2 (1989), pp. 387--393.

The following might be useful, especially 11, 13 & 15.  They should be
available in any academic library.
I compiled this as part of some work on Transformation Invarient
Pattern recognition.

I got a few. If you get lots of references I'm pleased to have a copy.
