Abstract

Handwritten Digit Recognition is probably one of the most exciting works in the field of science and technology as it is a hard task for the machines to recognize the digits which are written by different people. The handwritten digits may not be perfect and also consist of different flavors. And there is a necessity for handwritten digit recognition in many real-time purposes. The widely used MNIST dataset consists of almost 60000 handwritten digits. And to classify these kinds of images, many machine learning algorithms are used. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of accuracies and performances of Support Vector Machines (SVM), Neural Networks (NN), Decision Tree (DT) algorithms using Microsoft Azure ML Studio.
