Recently, as interest in machine learning (ML) has increased and research using ML has become active, it is becoming more important to find an optimal hyperparameter combination for various ML models. In this paper, among various hyperparameters, we focused on ML optimizers, and measured and compared the performance of major optimizers using various datasets. In particular, we compared the performance of nine optimizers ranging from SGD, which is the most basic, to Momentum, NAG, AdaGrad, RMSProp, AdaDelta, Adam, AdaMax, and Nadam, using the MNIST, CIFAR-10, IRIS, TITANIC, and Boston Housing Price datasets. Experimental results showed that when Adam or Nadam was used, the loss of various ML models decreased most rapidly and their F1 score was also increased. Meanwhile, AdaMax showed a lot of instability during training and AdaDelta showed slower convergence speed and lower performance than other optimizers.

Telugu language is considered as fourth most used language in India especially in the regions of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka etc. In international recognized countries also, Telugu is widely growing spoken language. This language comprises of different dependent and independent vowels, consonants and digits. In this aspect, the enhancement of Telugu Handwritten Character Recognition (HCR) has not been propagated. HCR is a neural network technique of converting a documented image to edited text one which can be used for many other applications. This reduces time and effort without starting over from the beginning every time. In this work, a Unicode based Handwritten Character Recognition(U-HCR) is developed for translating the handwritten Telugu characters into English language. With the use of Centre of Gravity (CG) in our model we can easily divide a compound character into individual character with the help of Unicode values. For training this model, we have used both online and offline Telugu character datasets. To extract the features in the scanned image we used convolutional neural network along with Machine Learning classifiers like Random Forest and Support Vector Machine. Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Root Mean Square Propagation (RMS-P) and Adaptative Moment Estimation (ADAM)optimizers are used in this work to enhance the performance of U-HCR and to reduce the loss function value. This loss value reduction can be possible with optimizers by using CNN. In both online and offline datasets, proposed model showed promising results by maintaining the accuracies with 90.28% for SGD, 96.97% for RMS-P and 93.57% for ADAM respectively.
