Hand-Written Analysis and Recognition Based on Deep Learning and Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of Support Vector Machines (SVM), along with other machine learning models, and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for Handwritten Analysis and Recognition. We investigate the performance of these models on a multi-class pairwise classification task using a large-scale handwritten dataset. Evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall are utilized to measure their performance and compare them against the CNN model. The study aims to provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of SVM, as well as other machine learning models, in comparison to CNN for handwritten analysis and recognition. SVM, known for its ability to handle complex non-linear relationships, offers good generalization and interpretability. However, it may face challenges in capturing intricate patterns in handwritten data. Other machine learning models, such as k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) and decision trees, also offer different advantages and limitations in this context. Through extensive experimentation, we compare the performance of SVM, k-NN, decision trees, and other relevant machine learning models with CNN on the same handwritten dataset. We analyze their accuracies, precision, and recall rates to evaluate their effectiveness in multi-class pairwise recognition of handwritten samples. Additionally, we discuss the computational requirements, training times, and interpretability associated with each model. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the suitability of SVM and other machine learning models when compared to CNN for handwritten analysis and recognition tasks. The results shed light on the trade-offs between traditional machine learning approaches and deep learning architectures in this domain. These insights can guide researchers and practitioners in choosing the most appropriate model based on their specific requirements, computational resources, and interpretability needs.
