SlideGen: Collaborative Multimodal Agents for Scientific Slide Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2512.04529v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Creating presentation slides from scientific papers is not simply a matter of summarizing paragraphs. A presenter is required to decide what story to tell, which figures and equations to highlight, and how to arrange them into pages that are visually clear rather than crowded or repetitive. The need to jointly reason over long contexts and layout-sensitive design makes paper-to-slide generation a uniquely challenging multimodal task. Most existing approaches, however, focus mainly on textual content selection, producing slides that often lack
