Handwritten character recognition using wavelet energy and extreme learning machine

TL;DR: An extremely fast leaning algorithm called ELM for single hidden layer feed forward networks (SLFN), which randomly chooses the input weights and analytically determines the output weights of SLFN, which learns much faster than traditional popular learning algorithms for feed forward neural networks.

A Semi-supervised Ensemble Learning Approach for Character Labeling with Minimal Human Effort

TL;DR: An efficient and low-cost semi-automatic labeling system for character datasets that proves that labeling only less than 0.5% of the training data is sufficient to achieve 86.21% recognition rate for a brand new script and 94.81% for the MNIST benchmark dataset.
