SUMMARY
In this paper, Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm is used to improve the recognition rate of Persian handwritten digits. In proposed approach, the effective features in increasing the recognition rate are selected using the Binary Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (BSFLA). By selecting the most suitable features from among all extracted features, the recognition rate is improved and computational costs are also decreased. The fitness function in BSFLA is the number of errors in the Fuzzy classifier which its minimum value is desired. The results indicate that Shuffled Frog Leaping algorithm (SFLA) is more efficient
