Handwritten character recognition data is usually imbalanced because it is collected from the natural language sentences written by different writers. The imbalanced data can cause seriously negative effect on the performance of most of machine learning algorithms. But this problem is typically ignored in handwritten character recognition, because it is considered that most of difficulties in handwritten character recognition is caused by the high variance in data set and similar shapes between characters. We propose the oversampling-based ensemble learning methods to solve imbalanced data problem in handwritten character recognition and to improve the recognition accuracy. Also we show that proposed method achieved improvements in recognition accuracy of minor classes as well as overall recognition accuracy empirically.
