• Abstract summary: We participate in a Kaggle competition citek_link where the challenge is to classify three constituent elements of a Bengali grapheme in the image. We explore the performances of some existing neural network models such as Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and state of the art ResNet50. We propose our own convolution neural network (CNN) model for Bengali grapheme classification with validation root accuracy 95.32%, vowel accuracy 98.61%, and consonant accuracy 98.76%.

• Abstract: Despite being one of the most spoken languages in the world ($6^{th}$ based on population), research regarding Bengali handwritten grapheme (smallest functional unit of a writing system) classification has not been explored widely compared to other prominent languages. Moreover, the large number of combinations of graphemes in the Bengali language makes this classification task very challenging. With an effort to contribute to this research problem, we participate in a Kaggle competition \cite{kaggle_link} where the challenge is to separately classify three constituent elements of a Bengali grapheme in the image: grapheme root, vowel diacritics, and consonant diacritics. We explore the performances of some existing neural network models such as Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and state of the art ResNet50. To further improve the performance we propose our own convolution neural network (CNN) model for Bengali grapheme classification with validation root accuracy 95.32\%, vowel accuracy 98.61\%, and consonant accuracy 98.76\%. We also explore Region Proposal Network (RPN) using VGGNet with a limited setting that can be a potential future direction to improve the performance.

  Handwritten digit recognition is essential for numerous applications in various industries. Due to the complexity of Bengali writing in terms of variety in shape, size, and writing style, researchers did not get better accuracy usingSupervised machine learning algorithms to date. We propose a novel CNN-based pre-trained handwritten digit recognition model which includes Resnet-50, Inception-v3, and EfficientNetB0 on NumtaDB dataset of 17 thousand instances with 10 classes.

• An Attention Ensemble Approach for Efficient Text Classification of Indian Languages [0.0]
  This paper focuses on the coarse-grained technical domain identification of short text documents in Marathi, a Devanagari script-based Indian language. A hybrid CNN-BiLSTM attention ensemble model is proposed that competently combines the intermediate sentence representations generated by the convolutional neural network and the bidirectional long short-term memory, leading to efficient text classification. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms various baseline machine learning and deep learning models in the given task, giving the best validation accuracy of 89.57% and f1-score of 0.8875.
