FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a conference talk from an academic paper?

To generate a conference talk from an academic paper, you need a compiled paper directory containing main.tex and main.pdf. The pipeline processes this input to automatically produce a slide outline, Beamer source, PDFs, an editable PPTX, speaker notes, and a full word-for-word script.

Can I convert my LaTeX paper into an editable PPTX presentation?

Yes, you can convert your LaTeX paper into an editable PPTX presentation. The pipeline reads your prepared paper directory and generates an editable PPTX file alongside the Beamer source and compiled PDFs, allowing for further manual adjustments.

How do you audit slides for claims, citations, and anonymity before a conference?

Auditing slides for claims, citations, and anonymity is handled by the conference-ready assurance mode. This mode performs staged slide-to-paper-style auditing with fail-closed behavior to ensure all slide claims, citations, and anonymity checks meet submission requirements.

What is the best way to create speaker notes and a talk script from a research paper?

The best way to create speaker notes and a talk script from a research paper is using an end-to-end talk pipeline. It converts your compiled paper directory into per-slide speaker notes and a complete word-for-word talk script while enforcing speaker-note stability and no content invention.

Do I need a compiled PDF to generate Beamer slides and talk packages?

Yes, you need a compiled PDF to generate Beamer slides and talk packages. A valid compiled paper directory containing both main.tex and main.pdf is a strict requirement for the pipeline to enforce its hard invariants and integrity-checked exports.

Does the paper to slides pipeline support different academic conference talk formats?

Yes, the paper to slides pipeline supports different academic conference talk formats. It applies to oral, spotlight, poster-talk, and invited talk formats, allowing you to specify the talk type and duration when generating the conference-ready package.
