A neural net based OCR demo for both Windows/DOS and Mac OS is available

[GIOIELLO]

Dear Netters,

	An OCR demo for Mac OS is available at the following URL:

	 ftp://ftpcsai.diepa.unipa.it/pub/demos/OCR-demo.cpt.hqx

	A Windows and DOS version is also available at the following URL:

         ftp://ftpcsai.diepa.unipa.it/pub/demos/OCR-Win.zip

this latter version offers a more rich set of capabilities too. The OCR
is based on a three-layer MLP. The conjugate gradient descent techniques
were used while training the net. Training and test set were those of NIST.

	The related papers will be found at the following URL:

		ftp://ftpcsai.diepa.unipa.it/pub/papers/handwritten

	Several VLSI architectures to implement the OCR device using
a digital implementation of the proposed MLP are also described in the
papers.

	An overwiev of the activities we carry on can be found at the following
