Le Net
• Yann LeCun and others developed a really good
recognizer for handwritten digits by using
backpropagation in a feedforward net with:
– Many hidden layers
– Many pools of replicated units in each layer.
– Averaging of the outputs of nearby replicated units.
– A wide net that can cope with several characters at
once even if they overlap.
• Look at all of the demos of LENET at
http://yann.lecun.com
– These demos are required “reading” for the tests.
