This document summarizes a research paper on developing a handwritten digit recognition system using a combination of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and support vector machines (SVM). The proposed system extracts features from images using a CNN, then classifies the images using an SVM. The system was tested on the MNIST dataset and achieved 99.12% classification accuracy, outperforming a basic CNN-only model. This high accuracy demonstrates that combining CNNs with SVMs improves performance for handwritten digit recognition.
