Title
Fast recognition of noisy digits
Abstract
We describe a hardware solution to a high-speed opticalcharacter recognition (OCR) problem. Noisy 15 × 10 binaryimages of machine written digits were processed and applied asinput to Intel's Electrically Trainable Analog Neural Network(ETANN). In software simulation, we trained an 80 × 54× 10 feedforward network using a modified version ofbackprop. We then downloaded the synaptic weights of the trainednetwork to ETANN and tweaked them to account for differencesbetween the simulation and the chip itself. The best recognitionerror rate was 0.9% in hardware with a 3.7% rejection rate on a1000-character test set.
