Insight of Fuzzy Neural Systems in the Application of Handwritten Digits Classification

There have been many applications in the area of handwritten character recognition. Over the last decade much research has gone into developing algorithms to accurately convert captured images of handwriting to text. At the same time, research into neuro fuzzy classification models has proven to solve many complex problems. In this paper, Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Evolving Fuzzy Neural Network (EFuNN) was investigated and studied in detail on how these two models can be used to perform handwritten digits classification. Results of the experiments show great potential of the EFuNN over the ANFIS for practical implementation of the handwritten digit recognition.
