Abstract: Handwritten digit recognition can be considered as a subtask of hand written character recognition, a broad area where a given character is recognized automatically by a machine. The major challenges of hand written character recognition are: writing style and size of characters varies from person to person. With the advances in machine learning algorithms the success of handwritten character recognition is improved. In this task we have considered hand written digit recognition, as there are plenty of real-time applications like amount identification on Bank cheques, recognizing zip codes on postal letters to mention few. Recent literature shows that performance of Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is promising on images. We have used neural network based models for hand written digit classi-fication. Initially the model is trained on MNIST dataset. In this work we have tried to identify the effect of different types of features on the performance of the model.
