Abstract

In this document, I propose systems that aim to minimize the gap between intentions and the corresponding actions under different scenarios. The gap exists because of many reasons like subjective mapping between the two, lack of resources to implement the action, or inherent noise in the physical processes. The proposed system observes the action and infers the intention behind it. The system then generates a refined action using the inference. The inferred intention and the refined action are then provided as feedback to the user who can then perform corrective actions or choose the refined action as it is as the desired result. I demonstrate the design and implementation of such systems through five projects - Image Deblurring, Tracking Block Model Assembly, Animating with Physical Proxies, What Affects Handwriting and Spying on the Writer.
