Presentations
Each student will give two paper presentations during the course. The first paper selection begins at the start of the semester, and the second selection will take place from March 20 to March 25. In both rounds, every student must choose one paper to present from the provided list. Students must present the papers individually; group presentations are not allowed.
Presentation format
The main idea of the presentation is to give an overview of the paper you chose. We have two presentations per seminar, leaving roughly 45 minutes per paper. This will also include questions and discussion (you don't have to prepare a 45-minute presentation).
The presentation should definitely touch on the following points:
- What is the motivation of the paper?
- What is the novelty of the paper? What does it aim to improve?
- Explain the architecture of the model / Explain the methodology.
- What are the results?
- What questions did you have about the paper, and what was confusing?
- Your opinion on the paper.
It is totally okay if you don't understand 100% of the paper you present.
A few more pointers for the presentation:
- Remember your audience! Try to explain things so they are understandable to other students who didn't read the paper. It is better to make it simpler rather than too complicated.
- Make the presentation engaging! Show us pictures and figures from the paper, and build your presentation around them.
