The problem Handwritten Digit Recognition (HDR) solves

The task of handwritten digit recognition, using a classifier, has great importance and use such as – online handwriting recognition on computer tablets , recognize zip codes on mail for postal mail sorting, processing bank check amounts, numeric entries in forms filled up by hand (for example ‐ tax forms) and so on.
Detection of handwritten numbers, including accuracy in these areas, has reached human perfection using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Hence, we are using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and MNIST dataset for more accurate results.
The purpose of the handwriting recognition system is to convert handwritten letters into machine-readable formats. Thus, the heart of our project lies within the ability to develop an efficient algorithm that can recognize the handwritten digits which are scanned and sent as input by the user.
following are also one of the provlem this model solves:

  • Medical diagnosis: Handwritten digit recognition can be used in medical diagnosis to automatically recognize handwritten numerical values on medical forms and records.

  • Transportation: Handwritten digit recognition can be used in transportation applications such as license plate recognition, enabling automatic recognition of license plates for toll collection, parking enforcement, and other applications.

Challenges we ran into

  • Dataset size and quality: The size and quality of the dataset used to train the model are critical factors that can impact the accuracy of the model. Insufficient or poor quality data can lead to overfitting or underfitting of the model.
    It was the main challenge for us to fetch the data, due to low processor of our laptops of some of our teammates. it was taking way logner to fetch data from dataset.
    Building a model that is too simple may not be able to capture the complexity of handwritten digits, while building a model that is too complex may lead to overfitting. Finding the right balance between model complexity and accuracy is a significant challenge.
    Besides, it was our first AI based hackathon, researching on it was little tough for us as this model is little complex for beginners just like us.
