Draw it, guess it
Handwritten Digit Recognizer
A CNN that reads digits you draw on a small whiteboard.
What it is
This was one of my first machine learning projects. You draw a digit on a 28 by 28 board, and a convolutional neural network guesses what it is. In my tests it was around 93 percent accurate and usually answered in a few seconds.
How it works
- 1
You draw a digit on a 28 by 28 canvas.
- 2
A CNN trained on handwritten digits looks at the pixel pattern.
- 3
NumPy and TensorFlow handle the processing and prediction.
- 4
The model returns a guess quickly enough to feel interactive.
