Abstract

We present Lg, a computational framework for the development and scientific evaluation of assistive technologies for sketch-based interfaces on the Mac OS X platform. Lg provides its own Python API that allows access to raw and refined sketch data, machine learning algorithms, and scientific analysis tools. While it has been designed with special attention to time series analysis tasks and machine learning applications, Lg is easily adaptable to perform different tasks in sketch processing.
