Pattern recognition in images is a classic application of neural nets. This chapter builds upon the previous one by exploring multi-layer networks, which fall into the Machine Learning branch of our Autonomous Learning taxonomy. In this case, we will look at images of computer-generated digits, and the problem of identifying the digits correctly. These images will represent numbers from scanned documents. Attempting to capture the variation in digits with algorithmic rules, considering ...
