AlgebraKit handwritten column arithmetic recognition
Project description
AlgebraKit has digital workbooks for mathemtical exercises for students aged 4 to 18. They want students to write by hand and provide feedback. The goal of this project is to add a hand writing recognition system to convert typing to handwritten exercises.
Context
Digital learning environments for mathematics education all over the world. Focus is on children aged 4-12.
Results
We generated synthetic data since no dataset existed with full and completed exercises. We then implented a pipeline with YOLO and GNN components that are trained on the synthetic data. The pipeline works and a demo user interface is available.
About the project group
We worked in an agile work environment. We are Fontys ICT students from the business and software profile. The project took one semester and started in February 2026.
