Application of Feed-forward networks - character recognition:

Character Recognition
(Fig.1) A feed-forward network for character recognition.

The idea of using feedforward networks to recognize handwritten characters is rather straightforward. As in most supervised training, the bitmap pattern of the handwritten character is treated as an input, with the correct letter or digit as the desired output. Normally such programs require the user to train the network by providing the program with their handwritten patterns.

One may visit Bob Mitchell's page for an interesting java applet demo.
