Due to the complicated structure of the script, variety of writing styles used, and the inherent challenges associated with unbalanced data, handwritten digit recognition poses an additional category of challenges.Selecting the optimal method for precise and effective recognition is essential given the growing need for automated recognition systems across a range of industries, including document analysis, postal services, and historical document preservation.This research aims to present an ensemble learning approach on neural networks, such Artificial Neural Network (ANN), , MobileNet-V2 and proposed optimized hyper-tuned sequential Convolutional Neural Network (SDM-CNN), to judge the performance of handwritten digit recognition.A vote procedure of bagging is then used to choose the final result.Authors used MNIST dataset to evaluate the performances of chosen neural networks.After implementing the models, the predictions from each of these five models were combined to create an ensemble of the outcomes.The results after final voting demonstrate that our proposed model achieved better accuracy of 99.28% with reduced computational time and less parameters.The experiment makes use of the Keras and Tensorflow learning modules of Python, which are used to implement each experiment on Google Collaboratory.
