## Abstract (arXiv)

Scientific surveys require not only summarizing large bodies of literature, but also organizing them into clear and coherent conceptual structures. However, existing automatic survey generation methods typically focus on linear text generation and struggle to explicitly model hierarchical relations among research topics and structured methodological comparisons, resulting in substantial gaps in structural organization and evidence presentation compared to expert-written surveys. To address this limitation, we propose MVSS, a multi-view structured survey generation framework that jointly generates and aligns citation-grounded hierarchical trees, structured comparison tables, and survey text. MVSS follows a structure-first paradigm: it first constructs a tree that captures the conceptual organization of a research domain, then generates comparison tables constrained by the tree structure, and finally uses both the tree and tables as joint structural constraints to guide outline construction and survey text generation. This design enables complementary and aligned multi-view representations across structure, comparison, and narrative. In addition, we introduce a dedicated evaluation framework that systematically assesses generated surveys from multiple dimensions, including structural quality, comparative completeness, and citation fidelity. Through large-scale experiments on 76 computer science topics, we demonstrate that MVSS significantly outperforms existing methods in survey organization and evidence grounding, and achieves performance comparable to expert-written surveys across multiple evaluation metrics.
