CAGE: Bridging the Accuracy-Aesthetics Gap in Educational Diagrams via Code-Anchored Generative Enhancement
arXiv:2604.09691v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Educational diagrams — labeled illustrations of biological processes, chemical structures, physical systems, and mathematical concepts — are essential cognitive tools in K-12 instruction. Yet no existing method can generate them both accurately and engagingly. Open-source diffusion models produce visually rich images but catastrophically garble text labels. Code-based generation via LLMs guarantees label correctness but yields visually flat outputs. Closed-source APIs partially bridge this gap but remain unreliable and prohibitively expensive at educational scale. […]
