Combining additive input noise annealing and pattern transformations for improved handwritten character recognition

作者:

Highlights:

• Handwritten digit recognition with very low error rates is a demanding problem.

• Traditional Back Propagation learning is limited due to local minima and stalling.

• There is also the need of building a full and representative learning data set.

• We address both problems with affine transformations and input noise annealing.

• Dimensionality reduction also helps to decrease the error rate.
