PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Information graphics (infographics) can effectively deliver messages in an engaging and memorable fashion. Hence, they have now gained tremendous popularity in presentations, documents, dashboards, etc. However, as a task usually requiring high-level design creativity and good proficiency with graphic design tools, authoring a professional infographic remains a challenge for information workers. We proposed Text-to-Vis to lower the access barrier for them, as well as to unleash and inspire their creativity. With natural language statements as input, Text-to-Vis can automatically generate a diverse set of infographics that can well convey the information in the text. Text-to-Vis allows information workers to achieve expressive and compelling infographics effortlessly, and use them to enhance and enrich their presentations and documents.
