用多智能体系统自动生成可编辑的科学图表,支持多种输入类型。
Crafter: A Multi-Agent Harness for Editable Scientific Figure Generation from Diverse Inputs

- 采用多智能体架构统一处理不同类型的科学图表生成
- 在三个图类型上表现优于现有方法,且输出可转为可编辑SVG
- 适合需要高效生成与修改论文配图的研究者使用
科学图表是传达复杂研究思想最有效的手段之一,但生成符合出版标准的插图仍是论文准备中最费时的部分。现有自动化系统仅针对单一图类型且依赖纯文本输入,无法应对研究人员实际使用的多样化条件;其生成的位图也无法本地编辑。由于科学图表是由离散语义组件构成的结构化组合,局部错误更需的是协同控制而非更强模型。我们构建了两个互补系统:Crafter,一个无需架构变更即可跨图类型和输入条件泛化的多智能体生成框架;CraftEditor,将位图输出转换为可编辑SVG的同构系统。此外,我们引入CraftBench基准,涵盖三种图类型和四种输入条件,并包含人工质量标注。实验表明,Crafter在PaperBanana-Bench和CraftBench上显著优于独立生成器与代理基线,消融实验验证各组件独立贡献;CraftEditor能忠实生成超越所有基线的可编辑SVG。代码与基准已公开于https://github.com/HaozheZhao/Crafter。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Scientific figures are among the most effective means of communicating complex research ideas, yet producing publication-quality illustrations remains one of the most labor-intensive parts of paper preparation. Existing automated systems each target a single figure type under text-only input, leaving the diversity of types and conditions researchers actually use unaddressed; their raster outputs further cannot be locally revised. Because scientific figures are structured compositions of discrete semantic components, the localized errors generators produce on such layouts demand not a stronger backbone but a harness. We instantiate this harness in two complementary systems: Crafter, a multi-agent harness for figure generation that generalizes across figure types and input conditions without architectural changes, and CraftEditor, which applies the same pattern to convert raster outputs into editable SVGs. Moreover, we introduce CraftBench, a benchmark spanning three figure types and four input conditions with human quality annotation. Experiments show that Crafter substantially outperforms both standalone generators and the agentic baseline on PaperBanana-Bench and CraftBench, with ablations confirming each component's independent contribution; CraftEditor faithfully converts outputs into editable SVGs that surpass all baselines. Our code and benchmark are available at https://github.com/HaozheZhao/Crafter.
