Time Series Classification for Online Tamil Handwritten Character Recognition - A Kernel Based Approach

K. R. Sivaramakrishnan, Chiranjib Bhattacharyya

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem of time series classification. Using piecewise linear interpolation various novel kernels are obtained which can be used with Support vector machines for designing classifiers capable of deciding the class of a given time series. The approach is general and is applicable in many scenarios. We apply the method to the task of Online Tamil handwritten character recognition with promising results.
