• 2025.05: 🎉🎉 Congratulations: SurveyForge was accepted by ACL-2025 main conference.

Survey papers are vital in scientific research, especially with the rapid increase in research publications. Recently, researchers have started using LLMs to automate survey creation for improved efficiency. However, LLM-generated surveys often fall short compared to human-written ones, particularly in outline quality and citation accuracy. To address this, we introduce SurveyForge, which first creates an outline by analyzing the structure of human-written outlines and consulting domain-related articles. Then, using high-quality papers retrieved by our scholar navigation agent, SurveyForge can automatically generate and refine the content of the survey.

Moreover, to achieve a comprehensive evaluation, we construct SurveyBench, which includes 100 human-written survey papers for win-rate comparison and assesses AI-generated survey papers across three dimensions: reference, outline, and content quality.

Due to the current limitations on API call frequency, please kindly send us an email or open an issue in the repository to inform us of the survey topic you intend to generate.

⏱️Surveyforge only takes about 10 minutes to generate a survey paper. There may be a wait time as the number of users increases, so submit your topic early!

🌟Don’t forget to click the STAR to track if your survey is ready!

Note: Our initial version currently supports survey generation only in the computer science domain, as we need to align with previous evaluation benchmarks in this field. We're actively working on expanding to other academic disciplines, and integration is already in progress. Thank you for your understanding and support!

We offer SurveyBench, a benchmark for academic research and evaluating the quality of AI-generated surveys.

SurveyBench Download

Currently , SurveyBench consists of approximately 100 human-written survey papers across 10 distinct topics, carefully curated by doctoral-level researchers to ensure thematic consistency and academic rigor. The supported topics and the core references corresponding to each topic are as follows:

More support topics coming soon!

cd SurveyBench && python test.py --is_human_eval

Note set is_human_eval True for human survey evaluation, False for generated surveys.
