PPTAgent: Generating and Evaluating Presentations Beyond Text-to-Slides

📄 Paper   |   🤗 Dataset   |   📝 Documentation   |   🙏 Citation

We present PPTAgent, an innovative system that automatically generates presentations from documents. Drawing inspiration from human presentation creation methods, our system employs a two-step process to ensure excellence in overall quality. Additionally, we introduce PPTEval, a comprehensive evaluation framework that assesses presentations across multiple dimensions.

PPTAgent 🤖

PPTAgent follows a two-phase approach:

1. Analysis Phase: Extracts and learns from patterns in reference presentations
2. Generation Phase: Develops structured outlines and produces visually cohesive slides

Our system's workflow is illustrated below:

PPTEval ⚖️

PPTEval evaluates presentations across three dimensions:

• Content: Check the accuracy and relevance of the slides.
• Design: Assesses the visual appeal and consistency.
• Coherence: Ensures the logical flow of ideas.

The workflow of PPTEval is shown below:
