SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts a compiled academic paper into a conference-ready poster layout without manually translating dense sections into a readable visual story.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Poster Generation from Compiled Papers: Takes a ready-to-build paper directory and produces print-oriented LaTeX poster output (A0/A1 PDF).
  • Visual-First Content Extraction: Extracts poster-appropriate material (e.g., stat callouts replacing the abstract, method figures, key results, and concise contributions) instead of dumping full text.
  • Conference Customization & Deliverables: Applies venue-specific color schemes (e.g., NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR) and produces editable assets including PPTX and SVG for iteration and sharing.
  • Resumable, Checkpointed Workflow: Persists progress in POSTER_STATE.json and can resume from a prior phase to reduce repeated work.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to generate a conference poster from your compiled paper folder for the target venue, e.g., use /paper-poster with your paper directory and specify the venue when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-poster

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a compiled LaTeX paper into a conference poster?

Conference poster generation from a compiled paper extracts key content like method figures and results, embedding them into a print-ready tcbposter template. It produces A0/A1 PDF outputs without manually translating dense academic sections into a visual layout.

Can I export my generated academic poster to an editable PPTX format?

Yes, PPTX export is supported by converting embedded figure PDFs to PNGs for embedding into editable slides. The workflow also outputs SVG files, allowing further iteration and sharing beyond the primary print-ready A0/A1 PDF poster.

Does conference poster generation support CJK typesetting with xelatex?

CJK typesetting is supported through automatic xelatex engine detection during LaTeX toolchain validation. This ensures proper rendering of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters within the tcbposter article-based poster template.

What is the best way to apply NeurIPS or ICML color schemes to a generated poster?

Venue-specific theming applies conference color schemes like NeurIPS, ICML, or ICLR directly to the generated poster layout. This customization happens automatically during the poster generation process from your compiled paper directory.

Do I need a validated LaTeX toolchain to generate an A0 poster from my paper?

Yes, LaTeX toolchain validation is required to process the tcbposter article-based template and compile the A0/A1 PDF output. The workflow checks your environment and persists progress in POSTER_STATE.json to resume if validation fails.

Why does my generated conference poster have clipped content in the fixed-grid layout?

Clipping in a fixed-grid poster layout occurs when content exceeds strict column boundaries. The generation workflow provides fixed-grid layout guidance and uses user-confirmation checkpoints to adjust content density and prevent visual clipping.
