1. Problem Context & Objectives
Students and researchers handwrite equations constantly, then retype them into LaTeX — slow, error-prone, and a real bottleneck for anyone preparing papers or problem sets.
2. Technical Architecture & Implementation
Integrated a pix2tex vision transformer with a Django web frontend and real-time MathJax preview, so a photo or sketch converts into clean LaTeX instantly.
3. Outcomes, Benchmarks & Empirical Validation
Turns handwritten math into copyable LaTeX in one step, with live rendering — a practical multimodal tool that later informed the cross-modal reasoning questions in the ChitraMiti benchmark.
