Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for signature verification. Signature verification may be provided for target signatures using genuine signatures. A signature verification model pipeline may extract features from a target signature and a genuine signature, encode and submit both to a neural network to generate a similarity score, which may be repeated for each genuine signature. A target signature may be classified as genuine, for example, when one or more similarity scores exceed a genuine threshold. A signature verification model may be updated or calibrated at any time with new genuine signatures. A signature verification model may be implemented with multiple trainable neural networks (e.g., for feature extraction, transformation, encoding, and/or classification).

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing spatial line grouping on digital ink stokes. The system includes an electronic processor configured to access a set of hypothetical lines in an electronic document and determine a set of hypothetical line pairings. The electronic processor is also configured to determine, via a gradient boosting tree model, a merge confidence score for each hypothetical line pairing and compare a first merge confidence score with a merge threshold. The first merge confidence score is associated with a first hypothetical line and a first neighboring hypothetical line. The electronic processor is also configured to, in response to the first merge confidence score satisfying the merge threshold, merge the first hypothetical line and the first neighboring hypothetical line to form a first line grouping. The electronic processor is also configured to perform a digital ink stroke analysis on the electronic document based on the first line grouping.

Abstract: A spatially sparse convolutional neural network (CNN) framework is introduced to that leverages high sparsity of input data to significantly reduce the computational cost of applications that employ CNNs (e.g., inking applications and others) by avoiding unnecessary floating point mathematical operations. The framework, which is compatible with parallelized operations, includes (1) a data structure for sparse tensors that both (a) reduces storage burden and (b) speeds computations; (2) a set of sparse tensor operations that accelerate convolution computations; and (3) the merging of pooling and convolutional layers. Practical applications involving handwriting recognition and/or stroke analysis demonstrate a notable reduction in storage and computational burdens.

Abstract: An ink parsing system receives ink strokes at an inking device input and render the received ink strokes into an image in a pixel space. Writing strokes are detected in the image and labeled. Pixels corresponding to the labeled writing strokes are removed from the image. Drawing strokes in the image having the removed pixels are detected using and labeled. Writing objects and drawing objects corresponding, respectively, to the labeled writing strokes and the labeled drawing strokes are output. A digital ink parsing pipeline is thereby provided having accurate ink stroke detection and segmentation.
