TLDR
This paper has proposed an appearance feature-based approach which process data using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), a very efficient feature descriptor for handwritten digits which is stable on illumination variation because it is a gradient-based descriptor.
Abstract
Automatic Handwritten Digits Recognition (HDR) is the process of interpreting handwritten digits by machines. There are several approaches for handwritten digits recognition. In this paper we have proposed an appearance feature-based approach which process data using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG). HOG is a very efficient feature descriptor for handwritten digits which is stable on illumination variation because it is a gradient-based descriptor. Moreover, linear SVM has been employed as classifier which has better responses than polynomial, RBF and sigmoid kernels. We have analyzed our model on MNIST dataset and 97.25% accuracy rate has been achieved which is comparable with the state of the art.

Monte Carlo and Reconstruction Membership Inference Attacks against Generative Models

TL;DR: This work motivates the use of GANs since they prove less vulnerable against information leakage attacks while producing detailed samples, and envision the two attacks in combination with the membership inference attack type formalization as especially useful.

ARDIS: a Swedish historical handwritten digit dataset

TL;DR: Experimental results show that machine learning algorithms, including deep learning methods, provide low recognition accuracy as they face difficulties when trained on existing datasets and tested on ARDIS dataset, which proves that AR DIS dataset has unique characteristics.

The Relevance Vector Machine

TL;DR: The Relevance Vector Machine is introduced, a Bayesian treatment of a generalised linear model of identical functional form to the SVM, and examples demonstrate that for comparable generalisation performance, the RVM requires dramatically fewer kernel functions.

Extracting support data for a given task

TL;DR: It is observed that three different types of handwritten digit classifiers construct their decision surface from strongly overlapping small subsets of the data base, which opens up the possibility of compressing data bases significantly by disposing of theData which is not important for the solution of a given task.
