ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for constructing a classification weights matrix for a pattern recognition system are provided which enable large system feature sets to be reduced and yield at least the same level of performance achieved using the large feature set. Methods and apparatus are also described for determining (evaluating) the classification efficiency of selected subsets of a given feature set. Further aspects of the invention are directed to: (a) methods and apparatus for constructing reduced element classification weights matrices utilizing a genetic search process to find the subset having a maximum classification efficiency; and (b) pattern recognition systems (including, in particular, character identification systems), which utilize classifiers constructed in accordance with the aforementioned aspects of the invention to actually perform pattern recognition.
