Researches on digit recognition have been conducted actively for a long time because the classes to recognize are much fewer than other character sets and because it is very likely thatthe digit recognition can be applied to many problems in real world, The recent studies on designingrecognition system with high performance are in progress with two different aspects. One is toconstruct a recognizer using several features at the same time, and the other is to use severalrecognizers. In this paper, we propose a multistage combination method to recognize the unconstrainedhandwritten numerals. The method is a two-stage combination method which uses multiplecombination methods at the same time unlike the existing methods with only one combination method.The recognizers are first combined by several combination methods of different classes simultaneously,and then the results of them are combined by another combination method to generate a final result.Five recognizers and eight combination methods are used in the proposed system. The experimentalresults showed that the recognition rates on CENPARMI and CEDAR data were 97.75% and 98.6%,respectively and the recognition performance could be improved as the process passed through stages,We could get the best performance by combining the combination methods of different classes, whichmeans there are a complementary relation among them, The proposed method can be considered asan extended version of the existing combination methods.

This paper describes the on-chip learning algorithm of neural networks using the stochastic pulse arithmetic. Stochastic pulse arithmetic is the computation using the numbers represented by the probability of 1' and 0's occurrences in a random pulse stream. This stochastic arithmetic has the merits when applied to neural network ; reduction of the area of the implemented hardware and getting a global solution escaping from local minima by virtue of the stochastic characteristics. And in this study, the on-chip learning algorithm is derived from the backpropagation algorithm for effective hardware implementation. We simulate the nonlinear separation problem of the some character patterns to verify the proposed learning algorithm. We also had good results after applying this algorithm to recognize printed and handwritten numbers.

Learning procedure in the neural network is updating of weights between neurons. Unadequate initial learning coefficient causes excessive iterations of learning process or incorrect learning results and degrades learning efficiency. In this paper, adaptive learning algorithm is proposed to increase the efficient in the learning algorithms of Self-Organization Neural Networks. The algorithm updates the weights adaptively when learning procedure runs. To prove the efficiency the algorithm is experimented to classification of strokes which is the reference handwritten character. The result shows improved classification rate about 1.44~3.65% proposed method compare with Kohonan and Mao's algorithms, in this paper.

본 논문에서는 고속 필기 한글 주소 인식을 위한 낱자 인식기를 제안한다. 인식 대상은 우편번호 여섯 자리에 할당된 주소에 출현 빈도가 높은 필기 한글 469 자이다. 제안된 방법은 낱자 인식 기법을 채택하고 있으며, 인식률과 처리속도를 향상시키기 위하여 2 단계 인식 전략을 채택하였다. 인식기로는 다층퍼셉트론, 최소거리분류기, Subspace 방법을 고려한다. 다층퍼셉트론은 비교적 높은 인식률과 처리속도를 보유하지만 출력값이 확률이 아님으로써 후처리를 필요로 하는 시스템에서 사용하기 어렵다. 최소거리분류기는 간단한 알고리즘으로 처리속도가 높고 확률을 출력하는 장점을 갖지만 인식률이 낮아 활용되기 어렵다. 또한 Subspace 방법은 인식률이 높고 확률을 출력하지만 처리속도가 매우 느리다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 제안방법에서는 처리속도가 높은 인식기 - 다층퍼셉트론, 최소거리분류기 - 를 사용하여 선인식을 수행한 후, 이 결과를 활용하여 인식 대상을 제한한 후 Subspace 방법을 사용하여 정확하게 인식하는 전략을 도입함으로써, 높은 인식결과를 유지하면서 처리속도를 높이고 후처리에 적합하도록 하였다. PE92 데이터베이스를 사용하여 실험한 결과 제안방법이 한글 469 자에 대하여 비교적 높은 인식률과 처리속도를 갖음을 알 수 있었다.

Deep learning has become a powerful and robust algorithm in Artificial Intelligence. One of the most impressive forms of Deep learning tools is that of the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). CNN is a state-of-the-art solution for object recognition. For instance when we utilize CNN with MNIST handwritten digital dataset, mostly the result is well. Because, in MNIST dataset, all digits are centralized. Unfortunately, the real world is different from our imagination. If digits are shifted from the center, it becomes a big issue for CNN to recognize and provide result like before. To solve that issue, we have created frequency images from spatial images by a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).

This paper descibes the study of application of a modified Neocognitron model with backward path for the recognition of Hangul(Korean) syllabic characters. In this original report, Fukushima demonstrated that Neocognitron can recognize hand written numerical characters of $19{\times}19$ size. This version accepts $61{\times}61$ images of handwritten Hangul syllabic characters or a part thereof with a mouse or with a scanner. It consists of an input layer and 3 pairs of Uc layers. The last Uc layer of this version, recognition layer, consists of 24 planes of $5{\times}5$ cells which tell us the identity of a grapheme receiving attention at one time and its relative position in the input layer respectively. It has been trained 10 simple vowel graphemes and 14 simple consonant graphemes and their spatial features. Some patterns which are not easily trained have been trained more extrensively. The trained nerwork which can classify indivisual graphemes with possible deformation, noise, size variance, transformation or retation wre then used to recongnize Korean syllabic characters using its selective attention mechanism for image segmentation task within a syllabic characters. On initial sample tests on input characters our model could recognize correctly up to 79%of the various test patterns of handwritten Korean syllabic charactes. The results of this study indeed show Neocognitron as a powerful model to reconginze deformed handwritten charavters with big size characters set via segmenting its input images as recognizable parts. The same approach may be applied to the recogition of chinese characters, which are much complex both in its structures and its graphemes. But processing time appears to be the bottleneck before it can be implemented. Special hardware such as neural chip appear to be an essestial prerquisite for the practical use of the model. Further work is required before enabling the model to recognize Korean syllabic characters consisting of complex vowels and complex consonants. Correct recognition of the neighboring area between two simple graphemes would become more critical for this task.

The purpose of this article is to re-examine the issue of Chobo's origin, which has not been clearly determinated thus far. Also, the research investigates Chobo's name, time point of discontinuance, character of the article on disaster, and civil-printed incident of Chobo during King Sunjo. As an internal bulletin, handwritten Chobo began to come out at the end of 15th century, roughly King Sungjong period of Chosun Dynasty. Systematically developed in the period of King Jungjong, it had continuously been released until November, 1907 when fairly organized and competitive commercial daily newspapers were published and when the office of secretary named Biseogam was abolished. Because handwritten Chobo was exclusive and narrow in its communication nature and difficult to read it's fast handwritten Nancho calligraphic style, in August, 1577 (10th year of King Sunjo) a few civilian in Seoul obtained a permission from authorities (Uijungboo and Sahunboo) published a wooden type printed Chobo. Unfortunately, privately printed Chobo was forced to cease in 3 month because of King Sunjo's oppressive measure. However, considering it was published for a profit by civilian and used the world's first type printing, it is highly probable that Chobo seems to be the world’s first type printing commercial daily newspaper.

In this paper, we propose the improvement of Hangul OCR accuracy through deep learning. OCR is a program that senses printed and handwritten characters in an optical way and encodes them digitally. In the case of the most commonly used Tesseract OCR, the accuracy of English recognition is high. However, Hangul has lower accuracy because it has less learning data for a complex structure. Therefore, in this study, we propose a method to improve the accuracy of Hangul OCR by extracting the character region from the desired image through image processing and using deep learning using it as learning data. It is expected that OCR, which has been developed only by existing alphanumeric and several languages, can be applied to various languages.

The classification error of 'ㅁ', 'ㅇ' is one of the main causes of incorrect recognition in Korean characters, but there haven't been enough researches to solve this problem. In this paper, a new feature extraction method from Korean grapheme is proposed to recognize 'ㅁ', 'ㅇ'effectively. First, we defined an optimal neighbor-distance selection measure using modified Hausdorff distance, which we determined the optimal neighbor-distance by. And we extracted neighbor-angle feature which was used as the effective feature to classify the two graphemes 'ㅁ', 'ㅇ'. Experimental results show that the proposed feature extraction method worked efficiently with the small number of features and could recognize the untrained patterns better than the conventional methods. It proves that the proposed method has a generality and stability for pattern recognition.

Along with the increase in Multi-unit housing defect disputes, the importance of defect management is also increased. However, previous studies have mostly focused on the Multi-unit housing's 'common part'. In addition, there is a lack of research on the system for the 'management office', which is a part of the subject of defect management. These resulted in the lack of defect management capability of the management office and the deterioration of management quality. Therefore, this paper proposes a machine learning-based defect data management system for management offices. The goal is to solve the inconvenience of management by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) modules. This system converts handwritten defect information into online text via OCR. By using the language model, the defect information is regenerated along with the form specified by the user. Eventually, the generated text is stored in a database and statistical analysis is performed. Through this chain of system, management office is expected to improve its defect management capabilities and support decision-making.
