SketchRec 2023: 3rd Workshop on Sketch Recognition

Sketch recognition is the interpretation of hand-drawn diagrams, and seeks to understand the users' intent while allowing them to draw unconstrained diagrams. Research in sketch recognition has been on-going for approximately half a century, and has experienced iterative advances due to the difficulty of the problem. As pen- and touch-capable devices such as smartphones, tablets, touch-driven monitors, and large touchscreen devices have become ubiquitous, and as emergent technologies such as virtual and augmented reality-driven computing technologies are becoming more advanced, sketch recognition-related research remains an open field for researchers to explore in approaching continuing interaction and recognition challenges with these technologies. The SketchRec workshop was hosted at the ACM Annual Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) and served the sketch recognition research community for sharing, presenting, and discussion research work that relates to the topics in the research field.
