PosterMELD automates editable scientific posters
The multi-agent pipeline turns papers into print-ready PPTX and PNG posters with design controls.
Why it matters
The work targets a practical bottleneck in scientific communication: converting dense multimodal papers into readable, editable poster layouts. Its evaluation separates print-readiness, native editability and design control, which could make poster-generation systems easier to compare.
The key points
- 1.PosterMELD exports editable PPTX and PNG poster artifacts.
- 2.The system reports 81.3% Print-Ready Rate across 621 papers.
- 3.Design controls support multiple poster variants from the same paper.
Researchers introduced PosterMELD, a template-conditioned multi-agent pipeline for generating scientific posters from papers. The system uses capacity-aware slots, deterministic checks and vision-language model review to route failures to bounded repair, then exports accepted posters as editable PowerPoint and PNG files. Across 621 papers, PosterMELD achieved an 81.3% Print-Ready Rate, reported as 3.4 times P2P's rate and 5.2 times PosterGen's.
