1. An electronic device, comprising:
a processing unit; and
a memory coupled to the processing unit and having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by the processing unit, causing the device to perform acts of:
in accordance with a determination that an original infographic is received, determining a group of visual element units from a visual element set comprised in the original infographic, a visual element unit in the group of visual element units representing an information item in the original infographic;
determining a first correlation between a visual element contained in the visual element unit and the information item by determining property information and an influence mode of semantic changes on the visual element, and determining a second correlation between the visual element unit and a further visual element unit in the group of visual element units by determining layout relationships and correlation information between visual elements;
generating a description for the original infographic by obtaining predetermined tags through a trained multi-tag prediction model to characterize the first correlation and the second correlation; and
in accordance with a determination that an input of target information is detected, generating a target infographic by:
updating the visual element contained in the visual element unit based on the first correlation and the target information;
updating visual elements in the further visual element unit based on the second correlation and the updated visual element; and
generating the target infographic based on the updated visual elements and their relative positions in an available display area.
