Abstract(in English) This paper describes a prototype learning algorithm for structured character pattern representation with common subpatterns shared for on-line handwritten Japanese character recognition. Although prototype learning algorithms have been proved useful for an unstructured set of features and structured pattern representations have been also shown effective for the above-mentioned application, prototype learning algorithms for structured or hierarchical pattern representation are not presented so far and their effectiveness remains unknown. In this paper, we present cost-free parallel translation (move without rotation) of subpatterns that negates their location distributions and normalization that reflects feature distributions in raw patterns to the subpattern prototypes, and then show that a prototype learning algorithm can be applied to the structured character pattern representation with significant effect for on-line handwritten Japanese character patterns.
