Abstract

In this paper, we propose a neural network system of combined architecture, using a self-organizing map (SOM) along with the concept of backpropagation to recognize handwritten digits from the MNIST dataset. The handwritten digits of the MNIST dataset were processed through a computer vision pre-processor. The general problem with the backpropagation method, which is its big learning time for large datasets, is attempted to be removed when used with an unsupervised mode of classification such as SOM when the data being used for backpropagation is already made to go through the SOM algorithm.
