Can AI turn research papers into interactive simulations?

Most AI agents reduce papers to summaries or static webpages. This work builds a system that reads a research paper and generates a fully interactive web application—one where users can adjust inputs and watch dynamic behavior unfold. The authors created a benchmark of 19 papers with expert-built reference systems, then proposed PaperVoyager, a generation framework that explicitly models mechanisms and interaction logic. Results show the approach significantly outperforms baseline generation, opening a new way to explore how scientific findings actually work.
