name: paper-title-generator description: "Generate optimized paper titles for different academic venues and styles. Activated when Chopin submits a paper draft and needs title suggestions, or when struggling to name a paper. Input: full paper draft or abstract plus key contributions. Output: 3-5 title options tailored to specific target venues (IEEE Transactions, IFAC, ACC, CDC, Automatica, etc.) with explanations of why each works for its venue. Use when Chopin asks: help me name this paper, suggest titles for a venue, or shares a draft seeking title feedback."

Paper Title Generator

Generate compelling, venue-appropriate paper titles from draft content.

Input Needed

Provide one or more of:

Full paper draft (preferred)

Abstract

Key contributions list

Method name / algorithm name

Target venue(s)

Output

Per Venue: 3-5 Title Options

Each title comes with:

Rationale: Why this title fits the venue's style

Tone tags: [Formal] [Technical] [Catchy] [Method-focused] [Application-focused]

Word count: Short / Medium / Long

Title Styles Explained

Descriptive: States the method/problem directly (e.g., "Event-Triggered Formation Control for Multi-UAV Systems")

Innovative: Emphasizes novelty (e.g., "Breaking the Communication Barrier: Adaptive Event-Triggered Formation")

Question-based: Engages reader curiosity (e.g., "How Can Multi-Agent Systems Reduce Communication Without Losing Control?")

Compound: Method + Application (e.g., "Consensus-Based Event Triggering for Formation Reconfiguration in UAV Swarms")

Venue-Specific Guidelines

IEEE Transactions (TAC, TIE, TRO, TCST)

Formal, technical, method-first

Avoid: catchy phrases, questions, colons

Length: 10-15 words

Example: "Event-Triggered Consensus Control for Linear Multi-Agent Systems"

Automatica

Mathematical rigor emphasized

Balance theory and application

Clean, precise language

Length: 12-18 words

IFAC (CDC, ACC, ECC)

Method + contribution clearly stated

Technical but accessible

Length: 12-16 words

ICRA / IROS (Robotics conferences)

Application-relevant, engaging

Can be slightly more creative

Often include robot/vehicle type

Length: 8-12 words

Nature / Science

Broad impact, accessible to non-specialists

Catchy but not hyperbolic

Avoid jargon

Length: 10-15 words

Workflow

1. Analyze input: Extract problem, method, contribution, novelty 2. Identify keywords: Technical terms that must appear 3. Map to venue: Apply venue-specific constraints 4. Generate titles: 3-5 per venue, varied styles 5. Rank & explain: Explain why each fits

Title Red Flags

Too vague: "A Study on Formation Control"

Too long: >20 words

Missing contribution: "Formation Control Using Event-Triggered Communication"

Too generic: "A New Approach to..."

Jargon-heavy for broad venues
