AI seminar: Acoustic emissions of handwriting

Friday, November 14, 2008 11:30 am - 11:30 am EST (GMT -05:00)

Speaker: Andrew Seniuk and Dorothea Blostein (Queens University)

Handwriting and speech recognition are problems with a long history. However, no studies have considered the sounds produced by handwriting, an information source which has connections to both of the aforementioned. This presentation will summarise our work in pen acoustic emissions, including demonstrations, early results on recognition of cursive handwritten characters, other possible applications, and some additional hypotheses for discussion.
