Do Tablets dream of electric ink?

چکیده
The Tablet PC version of Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system includes components that recognise handwriting. The data structures and objects used to store handwriting in Tablet PCs are called “ink”. The recognition of handwriting appears to be quite slow. A technical introduction to ink and the definition of the interfaces that allow the creation of purpose built handwriting recognition modules is described. These are then used to describe a proposed technical solution that speeds up handwriting recognition by embedding the recognition software in field programmable gate arrays (fpgas) mounted on a PCMCIA card. The solution then provides potential co-processing of handwriting recognition allowing recognition to proceed as a background process. Hence, daydreaming of electric ink becomes possible for the Tablet PC!

Do Distributed Semantic Models Dream of Electric Sheep? Visualizing Word Representations through Image Synthesis
We introduce the task of visualizing distributed semantic representations by generating images from word vectors. Given the corpus-based vector encoding the word broccoli, we convert it to a visual representation by means of a cross-modal mapping function, and then use the mapped representation to generate an image of broccoli as “dreamed” by the distributed model. We propose a baseline dream s...
متن کاملImage and Interpretation Using Artificial Intelligence to Read Ancient Roman Texts
The ink and stylus tablets discovered at the Roman Fort of Vindolanda are a unique resource for scholars of ancient history. However, the stylus tablets have proved particularly difficult to read. This paper describes a system that assists expert papyrologists in the interpretation of the Vindolanda writing tablets. A model-based approach is taken that relies on models of the written form of ch...
متن کاملCreation , Presentation , Capture , and Replay of Freehand Writings in e - Lecture Scenarios
Modelling freehand writing in all its capacitive expressiveness and stylised apotheosis is highlighted in this paper. We derive the necessary requirements for freehand writing representation from observations made in e-learning scenarios where the representation of ink data describing the dynamics of freehand writings as natural parameters is useful. We show that random real-time access for rec...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Ink Annotations on Web Documents
There have been recent improvements in document technologies like the standardization of object interfaces to access and manipulate the properties of web documents. There has also been significant progress in pen based computing for recognition of digital ink in desktops, tablets and handheld devices. These have necessitated a need for further research on annotation architectures for digital do...
