High-quality scientific illustrations are essential for communicating complex scientific and technical concepts, yet existing automated systems remain limited in editability, stylistic controllability, and efficiency. We present AutoFigure-Edit, an end-to-end system that generates fully editable scientific illustrations from long-form scientific text while enabling flexible style adaptation through user-provided reference images. By combining long-context understanding, reference-guided styling, and native SVG editing, it enables efficient creation and refinement of high-quality scientific illustrations. To facilitate further progress in this field, we release the video at https://youtu.be/10IH8SyJjAQ, the full codebase at https://github.com/ResearAI/AutoFigure-Edit and provide a live demo for easy access and interactive use at https://autofigure.cc/.

Large Language Models (LLMs) can perform sentiment analysis via natural language instructions, yet their predictions are highly sensitive to prompt phrasing. Prior work has shown that sentiment is encoded linearly in LLM representations, but the model’s ability to utilize this information remains surprisingly fragile to prompt variations. We leverage Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) and circuit-level analysis to uncover causal mechanisms underlying sentiment prediction. We identify a sentiment analysis circuit and find that prompt sensitivity may stem from task activation failure. The model encodes the sentiment feature consistently, but different prompts trigger varying degrees of circuit activation. Based on this insight, we propose a simple inference-time intervention method that amplifies circuit features to compensate for insufficient activation. Experiments across diverse datasets, templates, and languages show consistent improvements, offering an interpretable and training-free alternative to manual prompt engineering.
