Abstract

We propose a new machine learning paradigm called Multilayer Graph Transformer Network that extends the applicability of gradient-based learning algorithms to systems composed of modules that take graphs as input and produce graphs as output. A complete check reading system based on this concept is described. The system combines convolutional neural network character recognizers with graph-based stochastic models trained cooperatively at the document level. It is deployed commercially and reads million of business and personal checks per month with record accuracy.
