Pattern recognition by neural network model on hypercubes

The objective of this work is to study the performance characteristics of the back-propagation model for pattern recognition. Specifically, the test case of recognition of Chinese characters is studied on an ELXSI-6400 and MARK III hypercube. Preliminary results indicate that local spatial decomposition of characters in the training set leads to simple parallel implementation of the neural net model on hypercubes, and also serves as an effective pre-processor which provides high quality of recognition and good efficiency.
