Contractive autoencoder and SVM for recognition of handwritten Devanagari numerals
Ruhi R. Kabra · 2017
Representation of data is very important in case of machine learning. Better the representation, the classifiers will give better results. Contractive autoencoders are used to learn the representation of data which are robust to small changes in the input. This paper uses contractive autoencoder and SVM classifier for handwritten Devanagari numerals recognition. The accuracy obtained using CAE+SVM is 96 %.
