Compared to local representation where the number of output unit is p, the number of output unit required for the proposed representation is close to log p. The output of seven different printers were used for evaluating the performance of the system. The proposed automatic representation gave the average recognition rate of 98.7% for 71 categories.}, pages = {600--603}, publisher = {IEEE(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)}, title = {On distributed representation of output layer for recognizing Japanese Kana characters using neural networks}, volume = {2}, year = {1997} }
