Data-to-paper claims an LLM-driven pipeline that converts annotated CSVs into executable Python analysis, figures, and full manuscripts with programmatic traceability and review. It runs code (pandas scipy sklearn), calls Semantic Scholar/Crossref, enforces rule-based guardrails, back-traces every reported number into code and outputs as data-chained manuscripts, and reaches 80–90% autonomous correctness on simple datasets while relying on human co-piloting for complex tasks.
