Using ControlNets with Generative AI Models to Create Illustrative Diagrams for Mathematics Word Problems
摘要
The generation of illustrative diagrams to accompany mathematics word problems has the potential to provide adaptive support for students who struggle with mathematics. However, typical approaches to AI-generated illustrative diagrams have not been successful, with image either being visually appealing or mathematically accurate, and not both. Here we present a novel method for generating illustrative diagrams using generative AI – ControlNets. We demonstrate how ControlNets can be used with open educational resources to create mathematically precise, visually compelling illustrative diagrams to accompany mathematics story problems.
