Handwritten Mathematical Expressions Recognition using Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

Handwritten mathematical expressions recognition is yet challenging task due to its intricate spatial structure, tangled semantics and 2-dimensional layout of the characters. There is a still room for enhancement in recognition rate. Artificial neural network is superior to disentangle classification problems. In this paper, feedforward back propagation neural network is implemented to achieve both character recognition and mathematical structure recognition with upgrade in effective performance in addition to accuracy of the experimental results including lessen efforts. System proves its potency by recognizing expressions in analysis of math documents.
