dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a novel approach to executing handwritten code,
the solution coined Iris. My research falls within the field of mobile
app development, handwriting recognition, optical and intelligent character
recognition (OCR & ICR), machine learning, as well as various
Computer Science-related fields such as domain specific languages, or
DSLs. The solution outlined in this paper details a system where one
can author code using only a writing utensil (such as a pen), scratch
paper (such as a napkin), and a smart phone. Iris leverages the power
of the cloud to process an image of handwritten code and return the
result to the user. Ultimately, my results show that Iris was able to
accurately execute handwritten scripts with various levels of observed
accuracy. Future work includes adding more layers of machine learning
as well as further pre-processing images prior to OCR. | no_NO |
