Paper2Any - A multimodal AI-powered research PPT generation platform launched by Peking University

What is Paper2Any?

Paper2Any is an open-source, multimodal AI-assisted platform developed by the DCAI research group at Peking University. Based on the automated data governance agent framework DataFlow-Agent, it can automatically convert research papers into editable PPT and SVG files. It supports "text-to-image" generation, automatically generating visual materials such as structure diagrams and flowcharts throughout the entire process, solving the problem of time-consuming and laborious manual creation of charts by researchers. By understanding the logic of the paper, it directly outputs editable vector graphics and presentation slides, significantly improving the efficiency of visualizing research content.

Paper2Any's main functions

• Paper2FigureExtract information from paper PDFs, images, or text to quickly generate model architecture diagrams, technology roadmaps, and experimental data graphs, and output editable PPTX files, simplifying the scientific drawing process.
• Paper2PPTIt supports generating high-quality PPTs from multiple input sources, has the ability to handle extremely long documents, and includes built-in table extraction and chart parsing functions to ensure that presentation content is accurate and professional.
• PDF to PPTBy using intelligent image cutout and layout analysis technology, PDF files are accurately converted into editable PPTX files, solving the problem of formatting errors in traditional conversion and improving the accuracy and efficiency of document conversion.
• PPT Smart BeautificationIt utilizes AI technology to optimize the layout and style of PPTs, providing intelligent beautification functions to make presentations more visually appealing and professional, thereby enhancing the presentation effect.
• Multimodal content generationIt supports generating multiple content formats from the same input source, such as scientific illustrations, presentations, video scripts, and academic posters, to meet diverse needs in different scenarios.
