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.

arXiv:2607. 03006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-rich image models can now design poster-scale layouts, but we lack ways to measure whether they honor scientific communication contracts: legible labels, prescribed aspect ratios, and -- above all -- abstaining from fabricated scientific figures.

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.
