Alopex neural networks for manual alphabet recognition
Jennifer L. Hamilton, E. Micheli-Tzanakou · 2002
Alopex and backpropagation were used to train neural networks to recognize signs from the American Manual Alphabet. In many cases, the resulting networks gave comparable performance. The Alopex optimization technique did not converge to low error percentages during training as well as backpropagation did; backpropagation gave poorer performance on networks with a small number of hidden nodes.
