Designing Computerized Systems which posses reading and hearing
faculties is an active research area for more than four decades. Many
methods and algorithms have been suggested by researches for this
purpose as part of pattern recognition research
. Recently, more
research work has been devoted to the holist approach the
recognition system recognizes a complete word as one object without
going through the long and erroneous character segmentation
process. In this paper, a convolutional neural network has been
designed to recognize the popular Arabic names holistically. SUSt
ARG names data set has been used to test the network performance
(collected and compiled by pattern recognition research in Sudan
University of Science and Technology-SUSt). Selecting an appropriate
deep learning toolbox, after five stages of training, the network was
able to recognize all the names and 100%
