Art Karshmer Lectures in Access to Mathematics, Science and Engineering: Introduction to the Special Thematic Session

Abstract

Pr Art Karshmer started this series of sessions about access to STEM by people with visual impairment 20 years ago, aiming at presenting the state of the art of researches dedicated to non visual access to scientific content and calculation. This year we will read ten papers presenting research works using machine learning, but also computer algebra systems and natural language processing, to help blind and partially sighted users to access to scientific content, to understand them and finally to learn mathematics and to do calculations. Also, four of these papers concern access to graphical content.
