Word prediction on Android
Develop an environment for simulating and testing user input on an Android Open Source keyboard with word suggestion and autocorrection. Perform simulation and user studies to evaluate novel ways to improve word suggestions.
Keywords: Text entry, word suggestion, word prediction, Android, mobile phone, smartphone
When typing on a mobile phone, we are supported by word suggestion and autocorrection algorithms that try to speed up the process of text input. Based on our analysis of how people use word prediction, we have developed a way to improve the suggestion of words. The goal of this project is to develop a system that extends the standard Android keyboard (LatinIME) and allows us to simulate a users text input on the smartphone. This includes researching and simulating the noise in users' touch points and their spelling mistakes. The system should be modular so that simulators and keyboards can easily be swapped out or used with real user input.
Experience in Java programming is required, experience with Android developement is strongly recommended.
Please send you CV and transcript of records when applying to this project.
