contents This paper presents a learning-based method to solve the traditional parameterization and knot placement problems in B-spline approximation. Different from conventional heuristic methods or recent AI-based methods, the proposed method does not assume ordered or fixed-size data points as input. There is also no need for manually setting the number of knots. It casts the parameterization and knot placement problems as a sequence-to-sequence translation problem, a generative process automatically determining the number of knots, their placement, parameter values, and their ordering. Once trained, SplineGen demonstrates a notable improvement over existing methods, with a one to two orders of magnitude increase in approximation accuracy on test data.
