The Handwritten Trie: Indexing Electronic Ink

Summary: Introduces a trie-like index for handwritten ink where each node contains an HMM-driven letter, with branch order guided by HMM similarity. A time-budgeted search enables approximate matching, delivering scalable performance for large ink databases on memory and disk. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
