Abstract

Using a bag of visual words for unsupervised feature learning, a system of handwritten character recognition is developed using a support vector machine (SVM) for which the update rules are derived directly from the primary objective function. The system is tested on the MNIST dataset and outperforms a traditional SVM implementation in this particular set-up, not only in terms of accuracy but most notably in terms of computation time. Whether this approach should be labelled as part of the SVM family of algorithms remains a point of discussion.
