The Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition Uses Convolutional Neural Networks with the GoogLeNet

摘要

With the outstanding performance in 2014 at the ImageNet Large-Scale Visual Recognition Challenge 2014 (ILSVRC14), an effective convolutional neural network (CNN) model named GoogLeNet has drawn the attention of the mainstream machine learning field. In this paper we plan to take an insight into the application of the GoogLeNet in the Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition (HCCR) on the database HCL2000 and CASIA-HWDB with several necessary adjustments and also state-of-the-art improvement methods for this end-to-end approach. Through the experiments we have found that the application of the GoogLeNet for the Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition (HCCR) results into significant high accuracy, to be specific more than 99% for the final version, which is encouraging for us to further research.
