This invisible AI-powered keyboard used an NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti to help you type faster on a smartphone - SoyaCincau

In the midst of one of the world’s worst silicon shortages, you might be wishing you had a spare NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti GPU just laying around for you to use in gaming PC. But a group of South Korean researchers have instead used it to train an AI keyboard to make typing on a smartphone faster than ever. How? By eliminating the on-screen keyboard itself.

Sahng-Min Yoo and his team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have recently unveiled the Invisible Mobile Keyboard, or IMK for short. It’s an AI-powered keyboard that lets you type away anywhere on your smartphone display, and it’ll key in exactly what you meant to type with astonishing accuracy, without ever showing you an actual keyboard layout.

Yoo and co have done this by training the AI decoder using the One Billion Word Benchmark that was created by Google, Cambridge University and the University of Edinburgh back in 2014. This was done via the open-source PyTorch 1.4.0 library on an NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti GPU and a Linux-based workstation computer.

As for why they’ve come up with the IMK, well according to their research paper, the on-screen keyboards tend to lead to a high rate of typos, take up a large chunk of the screen and forces users to change their typing methods to fit the on-screen keyboard better. The IMK would in turn let users type anywhere on screen, and it’ll learn the typing habits of the user to accurately give you what you’ve ‘keyed’ in. Tests have so far shown that IMK users were able to type up to 157.
