Crafter: A Multi-Agent Harness for Editable Scientific Figure Generation from Diverse Inputs
Researchers have developed Crafter, a multi-agent system designed to automate the creation of scientific figures from various inputs. This system addresses the limitations of existing tools that are often restricted to single figure types and text-only inputs. Crafter is complemented by CraftEditor, which converts raster outputs into editable SVGs, and CraftBench, a new benchmark for evaluating figure generation quality. Experiments indicate that Crafter significantly outperforms previous methods and agentic baselines. AI
IMPACT Automates a labor-intensive part of scientific publishing, potentially accelerating research dissemination and improving figure quality.
