Paper LaTeX Review
Overview
Use this skill to turn a research paper PDF into a bilingual Chinese-English LaTeX review report. The report must prioritize the paper's own content, extract the truly important ideas, explain methods and representative comparison models, and assess reproducibility.
Source Policy
- First analyze the PDF only.
- Extract all claims that are available in the PDF: title, authors, venue if present, abstract, problem, contributions, method, equations, experiments, baselines, datasets, metrics, limitations, and reproducibility details.
- Use web search only when the PDF lacks enough information for:
- representative model background or method details,
- current international status, SOTA, or mainstream research direction,
- definitions of important technical terms,
- code/data availability that is not stated in the PDF.
- Clearly label every externally supplemented item as
外部补充 / External Supplement.
- If a fact cannot be verified from the PDF or reliable external sources, write
PDF 中未提供 / Not provided in the PDF or 未能确认 / Not verified instead of guessing.
Workflow
- Read the PDF carefully and identify the paper type: theory, model architecture, dataset, benchmark, systems, empirical study, survey, or application paper.
- Build a paper map:
- research question,
- motivation,
- task definition,
- proposed method,
- important equations,
- experiments and baselines,
- stated contributions,
- limitations and reproducibility evidence.
- Decide which model comparisons are available from the PDF:
- baselines in experimental tables,
- models named in related work,
- ablations that represent prior variants,
- closest competing method discussed by the authors.
- Explain representative models with method-level detail when possible:
- core idea,
- pipeline,
- objective or key equations,
- why it is used as a comparison,
- difference from the target paper,
- strengths and weaknesses.
- Generate the LaTeX report using the structure below.
- Preserve uncertainty and source boundaries. Do not make the report sound more certain than the evidence allows.
LaTeX Output Requirements
Return a single compilable .tex document unless the user asks for a full project. Use XeLaTeX-compatible Chinese support.
Use this default preamble:
\\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\\usepackage[UTF8]{ctex}
\\usepackage{geometry}
\\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsfonts}
\\usepackage{booktabs}
\\usepackage{enumitem}
\\usepackage{hyperref}
\\usepackage{xcolor}
\\geometry{margin=1in}
\\hypersetup{colorlinks=true, linkcolor=blue, urlcolor=blue, citecolor=blue}
\\title{论文精读报告 / Bilingual Paper Review}
\\author{Generated by ChatGPT}
\\date{\\today}
Use bilingual section titles in the format 中文 / English. Put Chinese first and English second.
Required Report Structure
Always include these sections unless the PDF makes a section impossible; if impossible, include the section and mark missing information.

Section Guidance
核心重要总结 / Core Importance Summary
Include:
- one-sentence Chinese summary,
- one-sentence English summary,
3分钟读懂 / Three-minute version,
- why the paper matters,
- who should read it.
摘要 / Summary
Do not merely translate the abstract. Summarize the real paper content:
- problem,
- method,
- main result,
- significance,
- caveats.
创新点 / Contributions and Innovations
For each innovation, include:
- Chinese explanation,
- English explanation,
- what prior limitation it addresses,
- evidence from the paper,
- whether the innovation is conceptual, architectural, algorithmic, empirical, dataset-related, or systems-related.
方法解释 / Method Explanation
Use two layers:
直觉解释 / Intuitive Explanation: explain as if to a technical reader new to the topic.
技术解释 / Technical Explanation: explain modules, pipeline, objective, training/inference, and implementation details.
When the paper has a model architecture, describe inputs, outputs, intermediate representations, training objective, and inference process.
关键公式与符号 / Key Equations and Notation
For each important equation:
- reproduce or paraphrase the equation in LaTeX,
- define every symbol,
- explain the equation's role,
- explain intuition,
- explain how it connects to the method.
If equations are embedded as images and cannot be reliably extracted, state that formulas need manual verification from the PDF image.
代表模型与对比模型来源 / Representative and Compared Models
Start with a source table:
\\begin{tabular}{p{0.22\\linewidth}p{0.30\\linewidth}p{0.38\\linewidth}}
\\toprule
模型 / Model & 来源 / Source & 为什么重要 / Why It Matters \\\\
\\midrule
...
\\bottomrule
\\end{tabular}
Classify sources as:
实验表格 baseline / experimental baseline,
Related Work,
作者讨论 / author discussion,
外部补充 / external supplement.
For each representative model, include:
\\subsection{代表模型:MODEL / Representative Model: MODEL}
\\paragraph{核心思想 / Core Idea}
...
\\paragraph{方法流程 / Method Pipeline}
...
\\paragraph{关键公式或目标函数 / Key Equation or Objective}
...
\\paragraph{与本文方法的区别 / Difference from This Paper}
...
\\paragraph{优缺点 / Strengths and Weaknesses}
...
重要名词解释 / Key Term Glossary
Explain domain terms that are central to understanding the paper. For each term:
- Chinese name,
- English term,
- plain-language explanation,
- role in this paper,
- common confusion or related terms when useful.
国际现状分析 / International Research Status Analysis
First use the PDF's related work and citations. If insufficient, use web search and label additions as external supplements. Cover:
- mainstream research directions,
- how this paper fits into the field,
- whether the method is incremental, representative, or potentially paradigm-shifting,
- comparison with current international practice or SOTA when verifiable,
- likely future directions.
可复现性分析 / Reproducibility Analysis
Use this rubric:
\\begin{tabular}{p{0.25\\linewidth}p{0.18\\linewidth}p{0.47\\linewidth}}
\\toprule
维度 / Dimension & 判断 / Assessment & 依据 / Evidence \\\\
\\midrule
代码 / Code & ... & ... \\\\
数据 / Data & ... & ... \\\\
超参数 / Hyperparameters & ... & ... \\\\
训练成本 / Training Cost & ... & ... \\\\
评测协议 / Evaluation Protocol & ... & ... \\\\
依赖与环境 / Dependencies & ... & ... \\\\
总体复现难度 / Overall Difficulty & ... & ... \\\\
\\bottomrule
\\end{tabular}
Use labels: 容易 / Easy, 中等 / Medium, 困难 / Hard, 无法判断 / Unknown.
Style Rules
- Be concise but information-dense.
- Prefer faithful technical explanation over promotional language.
- Use bilingual content throughout, not only translated headings.
- Keep equations in valid LaTeX syntax.
- Do not invent citation details.
- If using external information, include a short
信息来源说明 / Source Note subsection explaining what was PDF-based and what was externally supplemented.
- If the user asks for only a subset, still follow the same source policy and bilingual style.
