TLDR
The characteristics of the some classification methods that have been successfully applied to handwritten Devnagari character recognition and results of SVM and ANNs classification method, applied on Handwritten DevNagari characters are discussed.
Abstract
Classification methods based on learning from examples have been widely applied to character recognition from the 1990s and have brought forth significant improvements of recognition accuracies This class of methods includes statistical methods, artificial neural networks, support vector machines (SVM), multiple classifier combination, etc In this paper, we discuss the characteristics of the some classification methods that have been successfully applied to handwritten Devnagari character recognition and results of SVM and ANNs classification method, applied on Handwritten Devnagari characters After preprocessing the character image, we extracted shadow features, chain code histogram features, view based features and longest run features These features are then fed to Neural classifier and in support vector machine for classification In neural classifier, we explored three ways of combining decisions of four MLP’s, designed for four different features

Learning representations by back-propagating errors

TL;DR: Back-propagation repeatedly adjusts the weights of the connections in the network so as to minimize a measure of the difference between the actual output vector of the net and the desired output vector, which helps to represent important features of the task domain.
