Write on Paper and Get the Online Digital Trace:\newline A New Era for Handwriting

The paper introduces a new method for capturing the digital trace of handwriting written on regular paper. It combines a sensor-equipped digital pen with advanced AI algorithms to reconstruct the pen’s trajectory in real time, eliminating the need for specialized styluses or substrates. The approach integrates hardware development and embedded AI software to enable seamless digitization of traditional handwriting.

Handwriting Trajectory Recovery via Autoregressive Ordered Stroke Instance Prediction

The paper presents a two‑stage method for recovering handwriting trajectories from static images. First, it predicts ordered stroke instances autoregressively, then reconstructs continuous motion within each stroke using direction‑related cues. Experiments on Chinese, English, and Tamil handwriting show that this ordered prediction outperforms post‑hoc ordering and baseline models, and that sampling density significantly impacts performance.

HandwritingAgent: Language-Driven Handwriting Synthesis in Scalable Vector Space

Teaching machines to emulate natural handwriting styles remains an open challenge, as it requires synthesizing stroke sequences that dynamically vary in shape, texture, pressure and script - not only across individuals, but also within a single person's handwriting. Attempts at this challenge have largely explored deep learning methods in both online and offline settings.

Segment-Level Risk Discovery in Online Handwriting for Alzheimer's Disease Detection

The paper introduces NormPaST‑Risk, a novel framework that detects Alzheimer’s disease from online handwriting by focusing on local, segment‑level risk rather than whole‑trajectory features. It employs a multi‑scale temporal encoder, a Paper‑Air state‑space model to separate on‑paper motor execution from in‑air planning, and a healthy‑normative branch to learn normal handwriting dynamics. A weakly supervised segment‑risk module identifies high‑risk handwriting segments, achieving superior AD/HC classification on the DARWIN benchmark and offering interpretable evidence linked to disease‑related handwriting changes.
