With the rise of touch and pen enabled phones and tablets, sketch recognition is regaining popularity and public presence, and more people are becoming aware of and interested in this difficult, but valuable, problem. This workshop, hosted at IUI 2014, will bring together the sketch recognition community to encourage exciting new research directions.

The objectives of the workshop will include: building a stronger and larger sketch recognition community; aligning sketch recognition with the IUI community; discussing new research highlights including challenges and successes on new platforms; encouraging data standardization and collaboration between attendees.
