Machine Learning and Dyslexia-Diagnostic and Classification System (DCS) for Kids with Learning Disabilities
New generation is the future of every nation, but dyslexia which is a learning disability is spoiling the new generation. Most experts are using manual techniques to diagnose dyslexia. Machine learning algorithms are capable enough to learn the knowledge of experts and intelligently diagnose and cla...
