• Abstract: Transforming scientific papers into multimodal presentation content is essential for research dissemination but remains labor intensive. Existing automated solutions typically treat each format as an isolated downstream task, leading to redundant processing and semantic inconsistency. We introduce PaperX, a unified framework that models academic presentation generation as a structural transformation and rendering process. Central to our approach is the Scholar DAG, an intermediate representation that decouples the paper's logical structure from its final presentation syntax. By applying adaptive graph traversal strategies, PaperX generates diverse, high quality outputs from a single source. Comprehensive evaluations demonstrate that our framework achieves the state of the art performance in content fidelity and aesthetic quality while significantly improving cost efficiency compared to specialized single task agents.

We propose HIP, which models entities as HIerarchical Points to better conform to the hierarchical nature of the end-to-end VIE task. Specifically, such hierarchical points can be flexibly encoded and subsequently decoded into desired text transcripts, centers of various regions, and categories of entities.

  This paper introduces a text-graphic layer separation approach that enhances domain adaptability in document image restoration systems. We propose LayeredDoc, which utilizes two layers of information: the first targets coarse-grained graphic components, while the second refines machine-printed textual content. We evaluate our approach both qualitatively and quantitatively using a new real-world dataset, LayeredDocDB, developed for this study.
