DESCRIPTION:Despite advancements in accessibility for visually impaired ind
 ividuals in higher education\, non-textbook content such as diagrams remai
 ns a significant barrier. This presentation explores the development of an
  accessible system that leverages machine learning to classify and extract
  diagram features and topology. Attendees will learn about the key steps i
