Quick, Draw!
Quick, Draw! is an online guessing game developed and published by Google LLC that challenges players to draw a picture of an object or concept, then uses a neural network-based artificial intelligence to guess what the drawings represent. The AI learns from each drawing, improving its ability to guess correctly in future matches. The game is similar to Pictionary, in the sense that the player has a limited amount of time to draw. The concepts that it guesses can be simple, like "circle", or more complicated, like "camouflage".
Gameplay
In a match of Quick, Draw!, there are a total of six rounds. During each round, the player is given 20 seconds to draw a random prompt selected from the game's database whilst the AI attempts to guess the drawing. A round ends either when the AI successfully guesses the drawing or time runs out.At the end of a Quick, Draw! match, the player is given their drawings and results for each round. When clicking on a drawing, the player can view the AI's comparisons of their drawing with other player-given drawings, before quitting or replaying.
Data applications
- The Quick, Draw! dataset was used to train part of the app Spoken, which features a canvas that can recognize drawings and convert them to synthesized speech as a communication aid.
