Show, don't tell -- Providing Visual Error Feedback for Handwritten Documents
This addresses an understudied problem in education for improving handwriting skills, but it is incremental as it only identifies challenges without presenting a solution.
The paper tackled the problem of providing visual error feedback for handwritten documents by comparing modular and end-to-end systems, finding that neither approach currently achieves acceptable overall quality.
Handwriting remains an essential skill, particularly in education. Therefore, providing visual feedback on handwritten documents is an important but understudied area. We outline the many challenges when going from an image of handwritten input to correctly placed informative error feedback. We empirically compare modular and end-to-end systems and find that both approaches currently do not achieve acceptable overall quality. We identify the major challenges and outline an agenda for future research.
