	abstract =	{We describe a connectionist model for recognizing
	unconstrained handprinted digits. Instead of treating the input as a
	static signal, the image is scanned over time and converted into a
	time-varying signal. The temporalized image is processed by a
	spatiotemporal connectionist network. The resulting system offers
	shift-invariance along the temporalized axis, a reduction in the number
	of free parameters, and the ability to process images of arbitrary
	length.

	Results for handprinted digit recognition are among the best reported
	to date on a set of real-world ZIP code digit images, provided by the
	United States Postal Service. The system achieved a 99.1\% recognition
	rate on the training set and a 96\% recognition rate on the test set
	with no rejections. A 99.0\% recognition rate on the test set was
	achieved when 14.6\% of the images were rejected.},
