On Evolution of Multi-Category Pattern Classifiers Suitable for Embedded Systems
cartesian genetic programming, pattern classifier, handwritten digit recognition
This paper addresses the problem of evolutionary design of classifiers for the recognition of handwritten digit symbols by means of Cartesian Genetic Programming. Two different design scenarios are investigated - the design of multiple-output classifier, and design of multiple binary classifiers. The goal is to evolve classification algorithms that employ substantially smaller amount of operations in contrast with conventional approaches such as Support Vector Machines. Even if the evolved classifiers do not reach the accuracy of the tuned SVM classifier, it will be shown that the accuracy is higher than 93% and the number of required operations is a magnitude lower.
