Background (1-2 slides, 2-3 minutes)

State of the art before the authors' work (1-2 slides, 2-3 minutes)

  • A paper usually goes over related work. If the paper you are assigned to does not, then you can skip this part.
  • How other researchers approached the problem before the authors.
  • Explain their main ideas in simple English and short equations.
  • Pros and cons of their approaches.

The authors' ideas (1-4 slides, 3-7 minutes)

  • List the authors' new ideas in bullet points in a language that an average CS graduate student can understand
  • If needed, use short equations and illurations (like Figure 1 of Mokolov et al.'s word2vec paper) to give people a high level idea.
  • Math can be your friend because it can be concise and clear than English in many cases, e.g., $E=mc^2$.
  • Use examples if they help explain the authors' idea.
  • Example: "Scaling up with Noise-Contrastive Training" section abd "The Skipgram model" section of https://github.com/tensorflow/docs/blob/r1.15/site/en/tutorials/representation/word2vec.md

Results showing that the authors' approach works (1-4 slides, 1-3 slides, 3-5 minutes)

  • No need to list all results reported in the paper.
  • List those most important or surprising.
  • Include qualitative results, which do not take your audiences much time to digest, like Figure 3 in NEURAL MACHINE TRANSLATION BY JOINTLY LEARNING TO ALIGN AND TRANSLATE at ICLR 2015.

Possible extensions of the work (optional)

  • Future work listed by the authors at the end of the paper
  • Future work according to papers citing the work
  • Future work according to you

Limit your presentation under 15 minutes

  • We have 35 teams in total.
  • Each team has 15 minutes to present and 5 minutes for Q&A.
  • Remember: let your presentation be a trailer of the paper.
  • The slides can be generated via Pandoc in the command
