Computing the optimal keyboard through a geometric analysis of the English language
This addresses the problem of typing efficiency for users, but appears incremental as it builds on existing optimization methods for keyboard design.
The authors tackled the problem of designing faster-typing keyboards by using geometric tools in an optimization framework, resulting in novel keyboard layouts that offer improved typing speed.
In the context of a group project for the course COMSW4995 002 - Geometric Data Analysis, we bring our attention to the design of fast-typing keyboards. Leveraging some geometric tools in an optimization framework allowed us to propose novel keyboard layouts that offer a faster typing.
