Handwritten digit recognition with a novel vision model that extracts linearly separable features
Loo-Nin Teow, Kia-Fock Loe · 2002
We use well-established results in biological vision to construct a novel vision model for handwritten digit recognition. We show empirically that the features extracted by our model are linearly separable over a large training set (MNIST). Using only a linear classifier on these features, our model is relatively simple yet outperforms other models on the same data set.
