[comp.ai.neural-nets] Neural Networks To Recognize Handwritten Characters

mufti@gryphon.cis.ohio-state.edu (saad mufti) (02/24/91)

Hi. I'm new to neural networks, and I'd appreciate some references on 
using a multi-layer NN with the bacpropagation algorithm to recognize
hand written charcaters.

Thanks in advance.

LeCun Y. and others 1989 "Backpropagation Applied to Handwritten Zip Code
Recognition". In Neural Computation 1, 541-551.


Fukushima K. and others 1983 "Neocognitron: a neural network model for a
mechanism of visual pattern recognition". In IEEE Transactions on
Systems, Man and Cybernetics SMC-13:826-834

Fukushima doesn't use backpropagation but the results are impressive.
Unfortunately the size of the network makes it impractical for applications
but it can give you some ideas.
