Microsoft Research + NTU/NUS/A*STAR Ship ResearchStudio-Reel — Single PDF In, Editable Poster + Narrated Talk Video + Bilingual Blog Out, Beats Human Authors' Own Posters 84-93% of the Time
Summary
A Microsoft Research-led team with NTU, NUS and A*STAR published ResearchStudio-Reel, a compositional agent that turns one paper PDF into three publication-ready, natively-editable artifacts: a PowerPoint poster, a narrated MP4 talk built from an editable deck, and a bilingual (Chinese WeChat + English) Word blog, cross-linked in one HTML viewer. On the Paper2Poster benchmark of 100 papers the system beats the authors' own posters 3.52 vs 2.94 on aesthetics with an 84–93% win rate, at ~89 minutes and ~2.6M input / 276K output tokens per paper. The design replaces VLM preference scoring with categorical fill verdicts (EMPTY / SPARSE / FULL / SPILLAGE / OVERFLOW) as hard quality gates.
