用生成式AI把论文自动转成短视频，帮科研人员轻松做科普
PaperTok: Exploring the Use of Generative AI for Creating Short-form Videos for Research Communication
- 输入论文自动生成脚本和音视频内容，降低创作门槛
- 18人测试显示能产出有趣且信息量足的短片，100人众评验证效果
- 适合想做科研传播但没时间/技能的研究者使用
学术成果传播至关重要，但研究人员常因缺乏时间和技能难以制作吸引人的短视频。为填补这一空白，我们探索利用生成式AI将学术论文转化为通俗易懂的视频内容。基于对8位科学传播者和内容创作者的前期研究，设计了PaperTok——一个端到端系统，可从源论文自动生成脚本选项及对应的音视频内容，研究人员可进一步通过提示词调整偏好。混合方法用户研究（N=18）与众包评估（N=100）表明，PaperTok的工作流程能有效帮助研究人员创建引人入胜且信息丰富的短片。同时发现创作过程中需更精细的控制能力。据此提出未来生成工具支持科学传播的改进建议。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The dissemination of scholarly research is critical, yet researchers often lack the time and skills to create engaging content for popular media such as short-form videos. To address this gap, we explore the use of generative AI to help researchers transform their academic papers into accessible video content. Informed by a formative study with science communicators and content creators (N=8), we designed PaperTok, an end-to-end system that automates the initial creative labor by generating script options and corresponding audiovisual content from a source paper. Researchers can then refine based on their preferences with further prompting. A mixed-methods user study (N=18) and crowdsourced evaluation (N=100) demonstrate that PaperTok's workflow can help researchers create engaging and informative short-form videos. We also identified the need for more fine-grained controls in the creation process. To this end, we offer implications for future generative tools that support science outreach.
