TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Researchers introduced PosterMELD, a template-conditioned multi-agent pipeline for turning papers into scientific posters.
It uses capacity-aware layout slots, deterministic checks, and VLM-based repair to generate editable PPTX and PNG outputs.
On 621 papers, it achieved a high print-ready rate and competitive design quality at low per-request cost.
The system fills a practical gap by making AI-generated posters more editable, print-ready, and usable in real workflows.
