Abstract

This paper presents a method of combining SVMs (support vector machines) for multiclass problems that ensures a high recognition rate and a short processing time when compared to other classifiers. This hierarchical SVM combination considers the high recognition rate and short processing time as evaluation criteria. The used case study was the handwritten digit recognition problem with promising results.
