Abstract
A neural network designed to recognize a particular character is supplied with initial tap weights for a first hidden node which are an image of the character to be recognized. The additive inverse of this set of weights is used as the tap weights for a second hidden node. A third node, if used, is initialized with random noise. The network is then trained with back propagation.
