Handwriting Digit Recognition Using Neural

Networks

Abstract
Many machine learning techniques have been employed to solve the handwritten digit
recognition problem. This paper focuses on Neural Network (NN) approaches. The most
three famous NN approaches are deep neural network (DNN), deep belief network (DBN)
and convolutional neural network (CNN). In this paper, the three NN approaches are
compared and evaluated in terms of many factors such as accuracy and performance.
Recognition accuracy rate and performance, however, is not the only criterion in the
evaluation process, but there are interesting criteria such as execution time. Random and
standard dataset of handwritten digit have been used for conducting the experiments. The
results show that among the three NN approaches, DNN is the most accurate algorithm; it
has 98.08% accuracy rate. However, the execution time of DNN is comparable with the
other two algorithms. On the other hand, each algorithm has an error rate of 1-2% because
of the similarity in digit shapes, specially, with the digits (1,7), (3,5), (3,8), (8,5) and (6,9).
-limited laptop PCs show that HashHand is feasible for practical mobile networks.
