For blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals, digital math communication is uniquely difficult due to the lack of accessible tools. Currently, the state of the art is either code-based, like LaTeX, or WYSIWYG, like visual editors. However, both paradigms ...

TeX is a widely-used typesetting system adopted by most publishers and professional societies. While TeX is responsible for generating a significant number of documents, irregularities in the TeX ecosystem may produce inconsistent documents. These ...

Writing and organizing research papers is a valuable skill that can make or break your academic career. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools offer unprecedented opportunities for researchers to improve their skills in writing research papers ...

Writing and organizing research papers is a valuable skill that can make or break your academic career. This course will help you improve your skills in writing research papers for publication at CHI. In the past five years, my writing course at CHI has ...

Scientific documents contain tables that list important information in a concise fashion. Structure and content extraction from tables embedded within PDF research documents is a very challenging task due to the existence of visual features like ...

Digital mathematical libraries assemble the knowledge of years of mathematical research. Numerous disciplines (e.g., physics, engineering, pure and applied mathematics) rely heavily on compendia gathered findings. Likewise, modern research ...

Astronomy papers are most frequently composed and submitted in either Microsoft Word or LaTeX format. While most journals accept submissions in Word format (and some, such as Meteoritics and Planetary Science, until recently required Word format), ...

Information Extraction (IE) from the tables present in scientific articles is challenging due to complicated tabular representations and complex embedded text. This paper presents TabLeX, a large-scale benchmark dataset comprising table images ...

Writing formulas in LaTeX  can be difficult, especially for complex formulas. MathDeck simplifies LaTeX formula entry by: 1) allowing rendered formulas to be edited directly alongside their associated LaTeX strings, 2) helping build formulas from ...

This paper describes the design, implementation and outcomes of a teaching activity in high school setting, aimed at supporting a student with visual impairments in learning Mathematics and promoting inclusive learning involving all other students. The ...

LaTeX is widely used in STEM fields for creating high-quality documents that are converted to the Portable Document Format (PDF) for dissemination. Currently, available LaTeX systems do not guarantee that the generated PDFs are compliant with ...

In recent years, web-based platforms have become popular for LaTeX document authoring and presentation due to their hassle-free environments and collaboration features. Unfortunately, currently available platforms are not accessible to persons with ...

Mathematical objects (MO) in PDF documents is paramount in understanding the ontology and mathematical essence in published science, technology, engineering, and mathematical (STEM) documents. As of now, Marmot is the only publicly available data set ...

Assistive technologies for visually impaired people (screen readers and braille displays) perform satisfactorily with regard to digital documents containing alphabet characters, but they still have a long way to go as far as formulae and graphs ...

In this paper, we discuss the reasons which led us to propose LaTeX as mathematical notation to visually impaired students and why there is need for an accessible LaTeX editor. We performed an accessibility test for a selection of three LaTeX ...

There are many tools that can read aloud mathematical expression from text to allow blind students to learn math. Unfortunately, none of them supports Thai language. Our work is to develop a tool for reading mathematical expressions in Thai called ...

The article considers partially formalized text documents. For such documents, it is not possible to construct a formal grammar. Therefore, an external syntax description is used to build the syntax tree. The problem is the high labor intensity and the ...

This article investigates the possibility of logical structure (abstract syntax tree) automatic construction for text documents, the format of which is not fully defined by standards or other rules common to all the documents. In contrast to the syntax ...

A promising avenue to control energy-related costs in enterprise data centers is to investigate power-aware resource management strategies. Mechanisms to accurately capture energy consumption in data centers include source and machine code instruction ...

There is a plethora of languages to write documentation and documents. From extremely powerful and complex such as LATEX to extremely simple such as Markdown. In this technical article we present Pillar a versatile and extensible lightweight markup ...
