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.
