Mathematics wall: Enriching mathematics education through AI

Abstract

We present the progress of our ongoing research titled Mathematics Wall which aims to create an interactive problem solving environment where the system intelligently interacts with users. In its full glory, the wall shall provide answers and useful explanations to the problem-solving process using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. In this report, we discuss the following components: the digital ink segmentation task, the symbol recognition task, the structural analysis task, the mathematics expression recognition, the evaluation of the mathematics expressions and finally present the results. We then present and discuss the design decisions of the whole framework and subsequently, the implementation of the prototypes. Finally, future work on the explanation facility is discussed.
