Identifying handwritten mathematical symbols with CNNs
This sections deals with building a CNN to identify handwritten mathematical symbols. We're going to use the HASYv2 dataset. This contains 168,000 images from 369 different classes where each represents a different symbol. This dataset is a more complex analog compared to the popular MNIST dataset, which contains handwritten numbers.
