Researchers have developed a highly efficient convolutional neural network, named Barnamala, for recognizing handwritten Devanagari script. This compact model, with only 1.11 million parameters, achieves a benchmark saturation accuracy of 99.73% on the DHCD dataset, significantly outperforming larger models in terms of size and efficiency. Barnamala also demonstrates strong zero-shot performance on the CMATERdb dataset and superior robustness against data corruption compared to its larger counterparts. AI
