SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically converts a compiled research paper into conference presentation slides, including a beamer LaTeX source, a compiled PDF, editable PPTX, speaker notes, and a full talk script.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Paper-to-beamer conversion: Generates a timed slide deck from paper/sections/*.tex with venue-aligned styling.
  • Conference format options: Supports spotlight, oral, invited, and poster-talk structures to match talk length and depth.
  • Speaker-ready outputs: Produces \note blocks, a standalone speaker_notes.md, a word-for-word TALK_SCRIPT.md, and presentation.pptx with transferred notes.

Quick Start

Run /paper-slides "paper/" and then confirm the generated slide outline when prompted to produce slides/main.pdf and slides/presentation.pptx.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a LaTeX research paper into conference presentation slides?

To convert a LaTeX research paper into conference presentation slides, run the tool against your compiled paper directory to extract content from paper/sections/*.tex and generate a beamer LaTeX project. This process produces a compiled PDF and editable PPTX file.

Can I generate speaker notes and a talk script from my research paper?

Yes, you can generate speaker notes and a talk script from your research paper. The tool automatically produces standalone speaker_notes.md, a word-for-word TALK_SCRIPT.md, and embeds notes directly into the presentation.pptx file for your reference during the talk.

Does this tool support different conference presentation formats like spotlight or poster talks?

Yes, this tool supports different conference presentation formats including spotlight, oral, invited, and poster-talk structures. It applies venue-aligned styling for major conferences like NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, and ACL to match your specific talk length and depth requirements.

Do I need LaTeX tooling installed to compile beamer slides from my paper?

Yes, you need LaTeX tooling installed to compile beamer slides from your paper. The compilation process requires latexmk with pdflatex, or xelatex if your paper contains CJK characters, to successfully generate the slides/main.pdf output file.

What is the best way to create a beamer presentation from existing paper sections?

The best way to create a beamer presentation from existing paper sections is to run the automated conversion tool on your paper directory. It extracts content from paper/sections/*.tex, generates a timed slide outline, compiles the LaTeX project into PDF, and exports an editable PPTX.

Why does paper to slides conversion fail when CJK characters are present in the LaTeX source?

Paper to slides conversion may fail with CJK characters if the compilation engine lacks CJK support. You must use xelatex instead of standard pdflatex via latexmk to properly render CJK characters in the generated beamer PDF and PPTX outputs.
