How to make a Quick$
J. Reaver, Thomas F. Stahovich, James Herold · 2011
We present Quick$ (QuickBuck), an extension to the Dollar Recognizer designed to improve recognition efficiency. While the Dollar Recognizer must search all training templates to recognize an unknown symbol, Quick$ employs hierarchical clustering along with branch and bound search to do this more efficiently. Experiments have demonstrated that Quick$ is almost always faster than the Dollar Recognizer and always selects the same best-match templates.
