Handwritten Chinese trajectories prediction with an improved flat function-link neural networks and Kalman filter

摘要

This paper proposed an improved flat functional-link neural network (FFNN) to predict handwritten Chinese moving trajectories. To solve the prediction problem of a non-stationary time series, convectional neural networks need a lot of time and samples to train, where FFNN can solve this problem very well. Considering the structure of Chinese characters, the paper makes improvements for FFNN, and promising experimental results have been obtained. Furthermore a comparison is performed between the predictions of the Flat NN and a Kalman filter. Experiments suggest that the improved FFNN predictor works better for the prediction of trajectories of handwritten Chinese characters.
