Recognizing Handwritten Digits with scikit-learn

Recognizing handwritten text is a problem that can be traced back to the first automatic machines that needed to recognize individual characters in handwritten documents. Think about, for example, the ZIP codes on letters at the post office and the automation needed to recognize these five digits. Perfect recognition of these codes is necessary in order to sort mail automatically and efficiently. Included among the other applications that may come to mind is OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. OCR software must read the handwritten text, or pages of printed books, for general electronic documents in which each character is well defined Hypothesis : The Digits data set of the Scikit-learn library provides numerous data sets that are useful for testing many problems of data analysis and prediction of the results. Some Scientist claims that it predicts the digit accurately 95% of the time. Perform data analysis to accept or reject this Hypothesis. Step 1: Dataset In ...
