While this is easy for sighted people, it is far more challenging for people with visual impairments, especially since the graphical content is largely inaccessible. We propose to increase the universal accessibility of articles in popular media containing both text and graphical elements for people with visual impairments by automatically generating an abstractive summary of the entire multimodal document.
