SlideGen is a collaborative vision‑language multi‑agent framework designed to generate scientific presentation slides from research papers. It assigns specialized agents to outline the presentation structure, align figures and tables with key claims, generate speaker notes, and compose editable PPTX slides using a diverse layout library. The system introduces a geometry‑aware density metric to evaluate visual clutter and demonstrates significant improvements in layout balance, content coverage, and text coherence over existing baselines on a 200‑paper benchmark.

SlideLab is a training‑free, multi‑agent framework that generates scientific presentations directly from research papers. It first plans a coherent narrative, then iteratively builds and refines a shared slide deck using agents for content planning, visual generation, layout refinement, and grounding verification. In a blind human preference study, SlideLab outperformed both open‑source and commercial systems on 77% of papers while using about four times fewer inference tokens than the strongest open‑source baseline. The authors also introduce ConfArena, an audience‑oriented evaluation framework that simulates a conference room and assesses presentations slide by slide, matching human system rankings and detecting issues such as falsified numbers, degraded figures, dropped slides, and shuffled slide order.
ReFigBench is a benchmark that evaluates how well multimodal coding agents can transform scientific overview figures into editable PowerPoint slides, preserving text, layout, and document structure. The study uses 1,000 real figures from arXiv, testing agents from four model families across two workflows—direct code generation and a specialized PPTX workflow—within ten different harness configurations. Evaluation combines deterministic artifact checks, automated scoring by judges, and blinded human comparisons, revealing that workflow and harness choices significantly affect reconstruction quality and that even the best agents fall short of the ideal rubric.

SLIDEFORGE is an LLM‑driven agent designed for controllable editing of slide decks while preserving layout, style, component structure, and native editability. It constructs a Deck State Graph that links visual decomposition, PowerPoint object structure, and perceptual organization, enabling theme‑preserving reconstruction through slide‑native operations and rendered‑state verification. The authors also propose a comprehensive evaluation framework measuring component recovery, preservation, restyling consistency, visual quality, and native editability, and demonstrate that SLIDEFORGE outperforms direct prompting, screenshot‑based agents, and generic code‑agent baselines.
SLIDEFORGE is a new AI agent designed for controllable editing of presentation slides. It constructs a Deck State Graph that links visual decomposition, native PowerPoint object structure, and perceptual organization, enabling theme‑preserving reconstruction through slide‑native operations and rendered‑state verification. The authors also propose an evaluation framework that jointly measures component recovery, preservation, restyling consistency, visual quality, and native editability, and demonstrate that SLIDEFORGE outperforms existing prompting, screenshot‑based, and generic code‑agent baselines.
RAP (Reconstruct A Poster) is a new dataset and benchmark for generating conference posters from research papers, comprising over 25,000 verified paper‑poster pairs from 2022‑2026. Each pair is annotated with a three‑level content taxonomy and converted into styled HTML/CSS markup through an automated derendering pipeline, enabling objective render‑and‑compare evaluation. The corpus supports both inference and training, with a retrieval‑based PosterRAG pipeline and a supervised‑fine‑tuned model, and is publicly available via an online demo.

PaperBanana-Interact is a multi-agent system designed to refine scientific diagrams through multi-turn human feedback. The authors introduce MTPaperBananaBench, a benchmark with 292 images and 3,518 user requirements, and a user simulator that generates natural language feedback at each turn. Experiments show that PaperBanana-Interact consistently improves diagram quality, outperforming baseline systems by 11.9–18.6 points and reducing forgetting by 3.7–6.2 points.
DocHop is a new benchmark that tests multimodal large language models on integrated chart‑context reasoning within document‑style images. The benchmark presents narrative text that imposes multi‑step compositional constraints, while charts supply the data needed to answer questions grounded in semantic reference labels. It contains 2,074 examples across six task categories, generated via a stochastic logic‑first pipeline that controls reasoning depth and visual density, and shows a large performance gap between humans (over 90% accuracy) and the best models (62.83%).
