About

What is PaperBanana?

PaperBanana is an AI-powered academic illustration generator designed to automate the creation of publication-ready figures for researchers. It transforms paper text into methodology diagrams, statistical charts, and infographics through a sophisticated multi-agent collaboration framework. The tool ensures scientific accuracy and aesthetic polish by orchestrating five specialized AI agents: Retriever, Planner, Stylist, Visualizer (using Nano-Banana-Pro or Python code), and Critic. This closed-loop architecture helps overcome limitations of general image generators, particularly in maintaining logical correctness and numerical precision for data-driven figures. PaperBanana supports various academic figure types, including the aesthetic enhancement of existing hand-drawn sketches, making it a comprehensive solution for visual communication in scientific publishing.

FAQs

How does PaperBanana ensure accuracy in statistical plots?

Unlike general image generators, PaperBanana creates statistical charts by generating executable Python Matplotlib code from raw data. This code-based approach ensures mathematical precision for bars, data points, and scales, eliminating numerical hallucinations and making the figures highly reliable for academic publishing.

What types of academic figures can PaperBanana generate?

PaperBanana supports a wide range of academic illustration types, including methodology diagrams, statistical charts (bar, line, scatter plots), educational infographics, and visual assets for posters and conference slides. It can also aesthetically refine existing hand-drawn sketches to meet publication standards.

Is PaperBanana an open-source tool?

Yes, PaperBanana is fully open source under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0). Its complete codebase, model weights, training data, and benchmark are publicly available on GitHub for the research community to use and extend.
