Client Context & Problem
An EdTech company wanted to help students memorise long chapters by compressing them into single images. Given a few keywords, the model would generate a custom, kid-friendly illustration encoding the entire chapter.
Pain Points
- Creating glyph-like, cartoonish images that capture chapter content
- Building a training dataset (labelled images and text) from scratch
- Combining multiple model architectures (CNNs, RNNs, GANs, Stable Diffusion, YOLO)
- Ensuring safe outputs for educational content
Key Challenges
Multimodal complexity
Combining CV, NLP and generative models into cohesive pipeline
Training data
Building labelled image/text pairs from scratch for curriculum
Quality & safety
Ensuring kid-friendly, educationally appropriate outputs
Timeline & resources
Deliver in 5 months with team of ~10 people
Project Goal
Deliver a text-to-image model that can be tuned for educational content, with high-quality outputs, in under 5 months using a small team of about 10 people.
Success Metrics
- Generate kid-friendly, glyph-like images from keywords
- Capture chapter content in single mnemonic visual
- Deliver working model in under 5 months
- Safe, educationally appropriate outputs
Solution & Model Architecture
We built a synthetic data pipeline on AWS to generate labelled image/text pairs, then trained a CNN-RNN-GAN stack augmented by Stable Diffusion and YOLO modules. The pipeline produced creative, gliphy images matching input keywords. Stable diffusion layers handled style transfer, while YOLO validated object placement. A lightweight UI allowed teachers to customise prompts and review outputs.

User Experience
Before
Students struggled to memorize long text chapters; teachers had no tools to create visual mnemonics
- •Students read long text chapters
- •Limited visual aids available
- •Memory retention was low
- •No automated way to create custom mnemonics
After
Teachers select a chapter, provide keywords, and receive a colourful, cartoonish image capturing the main points. Students recall the chapter more easily using mnemonic visuals.
- •Teacher selects chapter and provides keywords
- •AI generates kid-friendly, glyph-like image
- •Image captures key chapter concepts
- •Students use visual mnemonics for recall
- •Memory retention improves significantly
