• Abstract: As the number of scientific papers continues to grow, there is a demand for approaches that can effectively convey research findings, with posters serving as a key medium for presenting paper contents. Poster layouts determine how effectively research is communicated and understood, highlighting their growing importance. In particular, a gap remains in understanding how papers correspond to the layouts that present them, which calls for datasets with paired annotations at scale. To bridge this gap, we introduce SciPostGen, a large-scale dataset for understanding and generating poster layouts from scientific papers. Our analyses based on SciPostGen show that paper structures are associated with the number of layout elements in posters. Based on this insight, we explore a framework, Retrieval-Augmented Poster Layout Generation, which retrieves layouts consistent with a given paper and uses them as guidance for layout generation. We conducted experiments under two conditions: with and without layout constraints typically specified by poster creators. The results show that the retriever estimates layouts aligned with paper structures, and our framework generates layouts that also satisfy given constraints.

  We use text as the guidance to create graphic layouts, i.e., Text-to-labeled, aiming to lower the design barriers. Text-to-labeled is a challenging task, because it needs to consider the implicit, combined, and incomplete constraints from text. We present a two-stage approach, named parse-then-place, to address this problem.

To get both textual and visual elements of a poster panel, a neural extractive model is proposed to extract text, figures and tables of a paper section simultaneously.
