Assignment #2
Letter Recognition using Deep Neural
Nets with Softmax Units
Learning Objective: Implement backpropagation
learning algorithm for a deep network classifier system.
Consider different weight-update formula variations,
hyperparameter settings, optimization strategies to get the
best network configuration. Apply modern training
techniques.
Letter Recognition Problem
UCI’s Machine Learning Repository
Classification Task: Identify
each of a large number of black and-white rectangular pixel
displays as one of the 26 capital
letters in the English alphabet.
Source: character images based
on 20 different commercial
fonts and each letter within
these 20 fonts was randomly
distorted to produce a file of
20,000 unique stimuli.

Data Set
History:
P. W. Frey and D. J. Slate (Machine Learning Vol 6 #2 March 91):
"Letter Recognition Using Holland-style Adaptive Classifiers".
The best accuracy obtained was a little over 80%
Challenge: Using modern deep network training techniques, we would
like to find out what is the best accuracy we can obtain.
DATA SET:
Number of Instances: 20,000
Missing Attribute Values: None
INPUTS:
16 primitive numerical attributes (statistical moments and edge
counts)

The attributes (before scaling to 0-15 range) are: -
The horizontal position, counting pixels from the left edge of the image, of the center
of the smallest rectangular box that can be drawn with all "on" pixels inside the box. -
The vertical position, counting pixels from the bottom, of the above box.
-
The width, in pixels, of the box.
-
The height, in pixels, of the box.
-
The total number of "on" pixels in the character image.
-
The mean horizontal position of all "on" pixels relative to the center of the box and
divided by the width of the box. This feature has a negative value if the image is "leftheavy"
as would be the case for the letter L. -
The mean vertical position of all "on" pixels relative to the center of the box and divided
by the height of the box.
Hand-crafted Input Features
UCI’s Machine Learning Repository -
The mean squared value of the horizontal pixel distances as measured in 6 above. This attribute will
have a higher value for images whose pixels are more widely separated in the horizontal direction as
would be the case for the letters W or M. -
The mean squared value of the vertical pixel distances as measured in 7 above.
-
The mean product of the horizontal and vertical distances for each "on" pixel as measured in 6 and 7
above. This attribute has a positive value for diagonal lines that run from bottom left to top right and a
negative value for diagonal lines from top left to bottom right. -
The mean value of the squared horizontal distance times the vertical distance for each "on" pixel.
This measures the correlation of the horizontal variance with the vertical position. -
The mean value of the squared vertical distance times the horizontal distance for each "on" pixel.
This measures the correlation of the vertical variance with the horizontal position. -
The mean number of edges (an "on" pixel immediately to the right of either an "off“ pixel or the
image boundary) encountered when making systematic scans from left to right at all vertical positions
within the box. This measure distinguishes between letters like "W" or "M" and letters like 'T' or "L." -
The sum of the vertical positions of edges encountered as measured in 13 above. This feature will
give a higher value if there are more edges at the top of the box, as in the letter "Y.“ -
The mean number of edges (an "on" pixel immediately above either an "off" pixel or the image
boundary) encountered when making systematic scans of the image from bottom to top over all
horizontal positions within the box. -
The sum of horizontal positions of edges encountered as measured in 15 above. archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets…

TRAINING and TEST SET:
We typically train on the first 16,000 items and then use the
resulting model to predict the letter category for the remaining
4,000. See the article cited for more details.

Note: We can normalize the inputs (e.g. between [0 to 1]), before feeding them
to the network.

What should I set to compile a Qt program after
moving it to another directory? -
Firstly, delete any file with the extension .pro.user, as they are
created specific to the user’s directory structure, and must be
regenerated after moving a project to another folder.
• e.g. LetterRecognition.pro.user -
When you are in Qt creator you should rerun qmake. Go to the
left pane where you typically find "Projects" otherwise select
projects. Go to the project name and do a right click, select
"Run qmake". -
It’s important to note that a path name (very deep directory
structure) that is very long could cause some problems. Simply
reduce the name or move the folder closer to the root dir.WX：codinghelp
