You will present
1 paper. You will have a total
of around 14 minutes. Aim for 11 minutes of presentation and 3
minute of questions (with 1 minute of switchover time).
Showing a demo or a video of one of the systems in action can be very
helpful to show your colleagues the look and feel of an interactive
system. If you want do this and plan to use my laptop to present,
contact me in advance (at least the day before) so that we can sort
whether the demo will indeed run.
You may use my laptop for presentations if you do not have your own. If you need to use anything
except for PDF or PowerPoint, check with me in advance to make sure
that the required software is installed on my machine. By 11am on the
day of class, send me either your presentation, or a note
telling me that you're using your own laptop. In the latter case, send me
your presentation right after class ends.
Your email must have the following subject header:
Topics
Topic and Time Signup
Send me your top three topic choices, and optionally a single "veto"
day on which you do not want to present, by Friday Oct 24 at
5pm, with a subject header of
Subject: 547 submit topics
I will send out the schedule and post papers soon after that.
Content
Your presentation should both describe
the visualization system presented in the paper and
analyze according to the
framework presented in the VAD book. You will need to present the critical ideas in the paper so
that your colleagues in the class have a basis for understanding your
subsequent discussion. Part of this assignment is to use your
judgement on what those critical ideas are and how to concisely
present them. You should
discuss strengths and weaknesses.
Critique whether the proposed tools and techniques in these papers
actually solve the intended domain problem.
Slides
You should prepare slides to accompany your talk.
See the previous versions of this
course for many good examples
of student presentations, but note that the expectations and format
have changed this year. You may use the software platform of your
choice to present these slides, as long as it's also possible to
create a PDF version of your talk for the course web site. Most people
use PowerPoint, Keynote, OpenOffice, or latex/beamer. If you're using
PowerPoint, it's easiest to just send me that and I'll generate the
PDF myself.
