Abstract:
Last summer work continued on our quest to bring E85 students a sketch-based circuit design tool. We focused on the problem of stroke grouping--the ability to decide which strokes should be grouped together into a single symbol, such as an AND gate or a wire. We also discovered patterns in the way people draw diagrams in different circumstances that can be used to aid recognition. We'll present our algorithms (diverse and interesting!), our results (surprisingly good! usually...), and the future of this and other projects at this week's colloquium.
