One-shot learning Batak Toba character recognition using siamese neural network

Abstract

Siamese neural network (SINN) is an image processing model that compares the scores of two patterns. The SINN algorithm is a combination of the use of the double convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm. By combined SINN with a one-shot learning algorithm, we can build an image model without requiring thousands of images for training. The test results from the SINN algorithm and one-shot learning show that this process was successful in matching the two data but was unable to produce labels from the data being tested. Because of this, the researcher decided to continue the implementation process using the CNN algorithm combined with single shot detection (SSD). By using a dataset of 5000, the recognition and translation of the Toba Batak script was successful. The percentage of average accuracy results from CNN and SSD in recognizing Toba Batak characters is 84.08% for single characters and 74.13% for mixed characters. While the percentage of average accuracy results for testing the breadth first search algorithm is 75.725%.
