Abstract
High-quality scientific illustrations are crucial for effectively communicating complex scientific and technical concepts, yet their manual creation remains a well-recognized bottleneck in both academia and industry. We present FigureBench, the first large-scale benchmark for generating scientific illustrations from long-form scientific texts. It contains 3,300 high-quality scientific text-figure pairs, covering diverse text-to-illustration tasks from scientific papers, surveys, blogs, and textbooks. Moreover, we propose AutoFigure, the first agentic framework that automatically generates high-quality scientific illustrations based on long-form scientific text. Specifically, before rendering the final result, AutoFigure engages in extensive thinking, recombination, and validation to produce a layout that is both structurally sound and aesthetically refined, outputting a scientific illustration that achieves both structural completeness and aesthetic appeal. Leveraging the high-quality data from FigureBench, we conduct extensive experiments to test the performance of AutoFigure against various baseline methods. The results demonstrate that AutoFigure consistently surpasses all baseline methods, producing publication-ready scientific illustrations. The code, dataset and huggingface space are released in https://github.com/ResearAI/AutoFigure.

Moreover, we propose AutoFigure, the first agentic framework that automatically generates high-quality scientific illustrations based on long-form scientific text.
Directly stated in the abstract, defining the proposed system.
partial
Specifically, before rendering the final result, AutoFigure engages in extensive thinking, recombination, and validation to produce a layout that is both structurally sound and aesthetically refined
Described in the abstract as key steps in AutoFigure's process.
partial
The results demonstrate that AutoFigure consistently surpasses all baseline methods, producing publication-ready scientific illustrations.
Stated in the abstract as the outcome of experiments comparing AutoFigure to baselines.
partial
AutoFigure could replace manual illustration creation in scientific publishing, reducing costs and speeding up the publication process.
Implied by the 'disruption' analysis and the abstract's mention of manual creation being a bottleneck.
partial
The tool's effectiveness might vary across different scientific domains and understanding the nuances of specific text concepts is challenging.
Explicitly stated as a caveat in the provided analysis.
partial
AutoFigure breaks down the process of scientific illustration generation into stages of semantic parsing, layout planning, and aesthetic rendering
Described in the 'science' analysis section as the process breakdown.
