Comparison and Analysis of Chinese and English Handwriting Recognition Algorithms in Deep Learning

Abstract

Handwriting recognition is an important topic of current research on image recognition. This technology provides convenience for production and life, as well as guarantees for us in some aspects of safety. The author hopes to help people get a preliminary understanding of English handwriting recognition by summarizing and comparing two commonly used models in deep learning. This paper focuses on two models of widely used English handwriting recognition, which are the simple Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model and the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. Firstly, the principles of the two models are introduced, and then gradient problems, fitting problems, training difficulty, and accuracy, as well as the reasons for these problems are all discussed and compared within the two models. Nowadays, the accuracy rate of English handwriting recognition is relatively high using deep learning methods and models. With the development of deep learning models, if more accurate string segmentation can be achieved, the accuracy rate of handwriting recognition can also be further improved.
