Abstract: Systems and methods for shape prediction for digital inking applications include training a shape prediction model to predict complete shapes based digital ink data defining unfinished shapes. During use, digital ink data representing an unfinished shape is input to a digital inking application and displayed in a canvas area of the application. The digital ink data is also provided to the shape prediction model as input. The shape prediction model generates a shape prediction based on the digital ink data. The shape prediction is displayed in the canvas area. When a second input is received indicating acceptance of the shape prediction, the digital ink forming the unfinished shape is replaced with digital ink forming a predicted complete shape.
