Many approaches have been studied over the years for such a recognition algorithm. We use an adaptive neuro-fuzzy clustering algorithm for classification and recognition of handwritten characters of a variety of styles and investigate the effectiveness of Fourier coefficients as representative features of handwritten characters in the presence of noise. Our results indicate that the adaptive clustering algorithm outperforms k-means clustering in handwritten character recognition for the same data representation. However some misclassifications cannot be avoided due to inherent problems associated with large variability in handwriting styles and the presence of excessive noise in practice.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":153967,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 3rd International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133706181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of the fuzzy classifier developed by using this methodology was comparable to the average performance of neural networks. We further develop a least square method for tuning the sensitivity parameters of fuzzy membership functions by which the generalization ability of the classifier is improved. We evaluate the method using the Fisher iris data and data for numeral recognition of vehicle license plates. The results show that when the tuned sensitivity parameters are applied, the recognition rates are improved, to the extent that performance is comparable to or better than the maximum performance obtained by neural networks, but with shorter computational time.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":153967,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 3rd International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"173 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133088415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The derivation of the proposed algorithm is based on an objective function incorporating a measure of the entropy of the membership functions and a measure of the distortion between the prototypes and the feature vectors. This formulation allows the gradual transition from a maximum uncertainty or minimum selectivity phase to a minimum uncertainty or maximum selectivity phase during the clustering process. Such a transition is achieved by controlling the relative effect of the maximization of the membership entropy and the minimization of the distortion between the prototypes and the feature vectors. The IRIS data set provides the basis for evaluating the proposed algorithms and comparing their performance with that of competing techniques.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":153967,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 3rd International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114545153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
