SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts a completed academic paper into a conference-ready talk package end-to-end, including slide outline, Beamer source, editable PPTX, speaker notes, a full talk script, and assurance audits for claims, citations, and anonymity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end talk pipeline: paper → slide outline → Beamer + PPTX → per-page visual polish → export and reporting.
  • Assurance ladder: supports draft, polished, and conference-ready workflows, with optional claim/citation/anonymity audits.
  • Integrity guardrails: enforces “no new content” and preserves speaker notes byte-stably, then verifies export integrity and downgrades the final verdict if audits fail.
  • Use case: quickly produce a NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR/VALSE-style talk from a paper directory, then get a deterministic, auditable deck for submission or rehearsal.

Quick Start

Run this pipeline on your compiled paper directory to produce a polished talk deck and script in the slides output folder.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert my academic paper to a conference talk with speaker notes?▼

Convert an academic paper to a conference talk by generating a slide outline, Beamer source, PPTX export, and speaker notes from a compiled paper directory. The process builds per-page visuals and a full talk script while preserving the original paper content.

How to generate Beamer slides and PPTX from a research paper directory?▼

Generate Beamer slides and PPTX from a research paper by applying a pipeline that builds a slide outline, produces Beamer source, and exports PPTX. It polishes per-page visuals and exports final PDFs along with a human-readable report.

Can I run anonymity and citation checks for a conference-ready talk presentation?▼

You can run claim, citation, and anonymity assurance audits for a conference-ready talk. The pipeline optionally stages these audits and uses the results to determine if the final verdict is conference-ready, downgrading the verdict if audits fail.

Does generating conference slides from a paper modify the original source files?▼

Generating conference slides from a paper does not modify the original source files. The pipeline enforces invariants that prevent modification of the source paper, avoid content invention, and preserve baseline speaker notes byte-stably.

What is the best way to create a NeurIPS or ICML presentation from a compiled paper?▼

The best way to create a NeurIPS or ICML presentation is using a pipeline that builds a slide outline, Beamer source, editable PPTX, and a full talk script. It supports top-venue oral or spotlight formats and anonymous submissions.

What are the limitations when exporting PPTX from academic paper Beamer source?▼

Limitations include strict integrity guardrails that prevent content invention and require baseline speaker notes to be preserved byte-stably. The export verifies integrity and downgrades the conference-ready verdict if claim, citation, or anonymity audits fail.
