In accordance with the implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for reusing infographics. In this solution, a group of visual element units is determined from a visual element set comprised in the original infographic. A visual element unit in the group represents an information item in the original infographic. A first correlation between a visual element contained in the visual element unit and the information item and a second correlation between the visual element unit and a further visual element unit in the group are determined. A description for the original infographic is generated based on the first and second correlations. A target infographic is generated by updating the group of visual element units at least based on the description and the target information. In this way, infographics can be converted into reusable templates, thereby simplifying reuse of such infographics and improving user experience.

Reuse of infographics

Various implementations of the present disclosure relate to text to visualization. In a method, information items are extracted from a natural language sentence. Visual elements associated with the information items are determined. A visual representation of the natural language sentence based on the visual elements is determined, the visual representation indicating information expressed by the natural language sentence.
