In this paper, we present and discuss some results recognizing hand-drawn symbols with a shallow neural network. A neural network model inspired from the LeNet architecture has been used to achieve state-of-the-art results withvery less training data, which is very unlikely to the data hungry deep neural network. From the results, it has become evident that the neural network architectures can efficiently describe and recognize hand drawn symbols from different writers and can model the inter author aberration L1 - http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/DDL2017.pdf N1 - DAG; 600.097; 600.121 ID - Sounak Dey2017 ER -
