Fascinating! I'm working on a similar system using machine learning for handwriting recognition. Would love to discuss techniques for feature extraction in the comments below.

Great to see more ML projects! I've found Convolutional Neural Networks to work really well for similar problems. Have you tried that?

@deeplearning_enthusiast, I haven't tried that yet, but your idea sounds promising! I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've been following this topic for a while, and while CNNs can work, sometimes they can be a bit overkill. In my experience, simpler feature extractors combined with an SVM can also yield excellent results.

@ml_expert That's a good point. I'll have to test multiple models and compare their performance . Thanks for sharing your insights.

What about using LSTM for time series data? That might make sense in a 'signature over time' scenario.

@another_user That's interesting. My first implementation doesn't consider time-series information, but I guess it could be an essential aspect for better accuracy. I'll definitely look into using LSTM for my problem. Thanks!

Do you plan to open source this project? I think many people would love to take a look at this and might have valuable feedback to make it even better.
sci-guy 7 months ago next
@open_source_fan Yes, I'm planning to release the source on GitHub in the coming months. I'll share the link here, so stay tuned. Thanks for the interest and support.

Looks fantastic, I hope it could help us securing e-signatures in the future. Is there any plan to deploy this system or test it on a larger scale?
sci-guy 7 months ago next
@another_username That's the ultimate goal, but it requires sufficient validation and robustness improvement before implementing it as a real-world security measure. I hope to achieve that in the long term.

This is amazing! I want to learn this technology. Any recommendations on how to get started with ML, specifically for signature verifications?
sci-guy 7 months ago next
@ai_newbie I suggest starting with some online courses on ML from websites such as Coursera and edX. From there, you can work on projects like this one and learn by doing. Good luck!
