- The purpose of presentation is to impress the potential readers of your paper, not to let them understand your paper in 15 minutes.
- Example organization:
- Motivation (e.g., show a running example)
- Related work and contribution
- Background and overview
- Explain the main approaches/results
- Experimental results (if any)
- Conclusions (e.g., summary and future work)
- Use short and simple sentences on your slides.
- Use charts and diagrams instead of texts whenever possible.
- Each slide should have a clear purpose. Remove all slides likely to confuse the audience.
- Present the materials that your audiences (NOT you) are interested in.
- They only care about how helpful your paper is for them.
- Try to skip technical results and use high-level descriptions.
- Most of the audience only care about the key ideas.
- Put the details in backup slides for Q&A.
- Make sure your audience can follow you to the last slide.
- Try to use a running example to explain your approaches.
- Recall definitions, formulas, theorems, etc., upon distant references.
