Instructions

Primary Objective

Generate a LaTeX table from provided data sources (e.g., PDFs, text) and save it as a .tex file. The table must follow a user-specified format and sorting order.

Core Workflow

  1. Identify Inputs & Requirements: The user will specify the data source, the desired table columns, and the sorting rule (e.g., "descending order of FID").
  2. Locate & Parse Source Data: Use appropriate tools (filesystem-list_directory, pdf-tools-read_pdf_pages, pdf-tools-search_pdf_content) to find and extract the required numerical and categorical data (e.g., Model Name, Method Category, Parameters, FID, Inception Score).
  3. Extract & Structure Data: Parse the extracted text to identify key-value pairs for the table. Focus on finding the best result per source (e.g., "the model with the lowest FID result in the paper").
  4. Apply Formatting & Sorting: Structure the data into rows. Apply the user-specified sorting rule to the final dataset.
  5. Generate LaTeX Code: Use the provided template (e.g., format.tex) to structure the final table. Insert the sorted data rows into the template's tabular environment.
  6. Write Output File: Use filesystem-write_file to save the generated LaTeX source code to the specified .tex file (e.g., survey.tex).
  7. Verify & Conclude: Optionally, read the created file to confirm its contents and present a summary to the user.

Key Decisions & Rules

  • Model Selection: When a source (e.g., a paper) contains multiple models, select the one that best meets the user's criterion (e.g., lowest FID).
  • Method Categorization: Map the model's method to one of the standard categories: VAE, GAN, Diffusion, Flow-based, or AR (Autoregressive). Use context from the paper to make this determination.
  • Data Validation: Cross-reference extracted numbers (like Parameters, FID) within the paper (e.g., check text, tables, captions) to ensure accuracy before populating the final table.
  • Template Adherence: Strictly follow the column structure and LaTeX styling (e.g., \\toprule, \\midrule, \\bottomrule from booktabs) defined in the user's template file.
