Abstract
Pattern Recognition is the method of mapping the inputs to their respective target classes based on features of data. In this paper a stacked ensemble meta-learning approach for customized convolutional neural network is proposed for Marathi handwritten numeral recognition. Stacked ensemble merges the pre-trained base pipe lines to create a multi-head meta-learning classifier that outputs the final target labels. It overpowers the average ensemble because the weighted and maximum contribution of each pipeline is taken in this approach. The stacked ensemble meta-learning classifier proves to be efficient because the base pipelines, which are already acquainted with output desirable results, are concatenated, instead of averaging, to achieve maximum efficiency. Performance evaluation and analysis have been done on Marathi handwritten numeral dataset, and the experiment results are better than the existing proposed systems.
