Our first assignment in Sketch Recognition was to go through a software called Mechanix, that has been design for high school and engineering students to work on solid mechanics problem effectively. It has a lucid user interface that provides a rich visual experience, and is powered by an AI core that is able to understand sketches and shapes drawn by the student, and also compare it with instructor provided templates.
Although the software on a whole was really impressive, for someone like me with butterfingers, it was fairly difficult to get through all the problems, as I found it hard to even make lines intersect correctly! When I told Dr. Tracy Hammond about this, she suggested that I can possibly work on algorithms that makes Mechanix more friendly towards poor artists! That is probably an excellent direction in the future, to help artistically deprived people like me!
Some thoughts on Mechanix:
1. Professors can view the student's submissions. What if a student has been trying to submit an imperfect diagram for a long time, which Mechanix didn't accept, but is acceptable to a human professor? Can the professor then tell Mechanix that the solution is indeed right (i.e Correct Solution, Detected as Wrong - True Negative?)? Will Mechanix be able to perform fresh analysis and learn to widen its range of accepted solutions?
I will be adding more thoughts here on Mechanix as and when I figure out new things!
