- We are exprimenting with character recognition using the backprop
- neural net alogrithm, but alack, we have few exemplar letters!
-
- We could really do with some help. If you'd like to take part,
- all you have to do is mail us with an exemplar letter of your
- choice. This should be a capital letter represented in binary,
- of size 8x8 bits. Each line should be terminated by a hash.
-
- As an example:
-
- 00001000#
- 00010100#
- 00100010#
- 01000001#
- 01111111#
- 01000001#
- 01000001#
- 01000001#
-
- Go on have a bash! Send the finished letters to "bjoo@castle.ed.ac.uk"
- Please don't use banner, that's cheating.
-
- Thanks a lot:
