1. How to give an effective research presentation

2. Extra: Golden Rules (NC Lab. Version) 두괄식으로 하라. 자신이 해석해서 자기 얘기를 하라. 시나리오를 통해서 얘기하라. ¼ 의 시간 동안 발표의 수준이 결판이 난다. Introduction 에서 청중과 호흡이 맞아야 한 다. 첫 번째 page 에 그림이 나와야 한다. 감정을 표현 하라 Presentation is performance

3. 3 phases 1. Presentation after developing a scenario –Motivation! –Problem 2. Presentation after developing a solution approach –Key idea!! –Technical challenge –Related work 3. Presentation after finishing the project –Experiments –Conclusion, one line comment

4. Outline of 1 st phase presentation Title Table of Content Motivation –Application Scenario (if needed) Problem Goal of the project

5. 1 st phase Example

6. 1 st phase Motivation –Make people think together throughout the talk By using an interesting scenario By expressing the scenario & example using a figure in a slide Problem –Be illustrative enough to help people guess the problems in the motivation Put the problems together in the figure which expresses the motivation Explain it straight-forward as possible to make people to agree about the problem

7. 2 nd phase Title Table of Content Motivation –Application Scenario (if needed) Problem Solution Approach (Key idea) Technical challenges Related work

8. 2 nd phase Solution approach –You must identify the key idea. “Scalable P2P structure” is No Good. “Scalable File Sharing through decentralized/distributed file indexing” is better –Be specific. Don’t leave your audience to figure it o ut for themselves. –Be absolutely specific. Say “If you remember nothin g else, remember this.” –Organize your talk around this specific goal. Ruthles sly prune material that is irrelevant to the key idea.

9. 2 nd phase Solution approach –Use figures or animations in a slide describing the approach Make audience to catch the idea from an example figure or animation Do not discourage people by putting gory details into a slide

10. Gory details

11. 2 nd phase Example

12. 2 nd phase Technical challenge –Technical challenge should be introduced together with the solution approach –It is effective if the challenges were expressed in the figure describing the approach –The reason why it is a challenge should be agreed by the audience Connect the reason to the scenario if possible

13. 2 nd phase Example

14. 2 nd phase Example

15. 2 nd phase Related work –Dealing with related work while introducing your idea Generally, you’ll compare while explaining the –Problem formulation process –Solution approach –Abstract their key idea and emphasize the difference Introduce their key idea and weak points/limitations Introduce the difference between the problems and following limitations

16. 2 nd phase Example

17. 2 nd phase Related work –Dealing with related works in detail usually in a separate “Related Research” section Summarize existing research works in the related areas –If possible, establish your own way (or view) in classifying or summarizing the related works Summarize researches that are technically related

18. 2 nd phase Example

19. 3 rd phase Title Table of Content One Line Comment about your system Motivation –Application Scenario (if needed) Problem Solution Approach Technical issues Experiments Related work Conclusion

20. 3 rd phase One line comment about your system –To interest people and to make people guess your system –An example form describing a creative system Introducing the goal (motivation) Introducing the problem Introducing the key idea => In one sentence

21. 3 rd phase Make people believe the experiments were reasonable –Show experiment scenario, parameters and set up –Show the main objective of your experiment Emphasize the effect of your system –By highlighting a core experiment Through the figures having good, distinct curve –But do not hide or ignore the weak point of your system or the outliers Instead, provide your explanation about them

22. 3 rd phase Experiments –Avoid large tables of data The audience can not easily read a table Use figures or graph instead –Try not to put more than two or three lines in a graph Do your best to weed out unimportant details from your graphs

23. 3 rd phase Conclusion & Future work –Introduce the assumed environment again briefly –Clarify your KEY IDEA again –Clarify the contribution of your work –Introduce your future work

24. General tips for an effective presentation 1. While preparing your slide 2. While giving a talk 3. While facing questions

25. Class of presentations Conference Defense Business presentation Job interview seminar (PhD) Funding proposal/report presentation In-class project presentation Seminar Paper seminar Tutorial Guidance.vs. Advertisement.vs. Evaluation.vs. Discussion –Conference?, Defense? Job Interview?, Tutorial? …

26. While preparing your slides Be neat! –Check your spelling, grammar, legibility People tend to loose their attention even for a small mistake Small mistakes induce distrust Let people concentrate on the main idea by not making small mistakes

27. While preparing your slides Avoid overcrowding a slide –Use one or more slides for a concept People will read instead of listening People will get board by a slide full of text Just leave KEY IDEAS in a slide

28. While preparing your slides Be Brief! –Slides are not a book Just put key phrases in a slide and explain Prevent yourself from reading a slide Make people perceive at first sight Exclude gory details –It will make audiences sleepy

29. While preparing your slides 개념화 구체적, 명료한 단어 선택 구조화 그림 (if possible) Process of slide production

30. While Giving Your Talk: Being seen, being h eard  Speak to someone at the back of the room, even if you have a microphone on  Make personal contact; identify a nodder, and speak to him or her (better still, more than one)  Personal contact includes  Eye contact, gestures, approach  Watch audience for questions…

31. While Giving your Talk: Your main weapon Examples are your main weapon  To motivate the work  To convey the basic intuition  To illustrate the Idea in action  To show extreme cases  To highlight shortcomings When time is short, omit the general case, not the example

32. While giving a talk (conference)  Surrounded by strangers  Not enough time  The purpose of your talk…  To give your audience an intuitive feel for an idea  To make them foam at the mouth with eagerness to know about the details  To engage, excite, provoke them  You should conquer them in the introductory part  By using a interesting scenario

33. While giving a talk (conference) You have 2 minutes to engage your audience before they start to doze And the quality is determined in the first quarter  Why should I tune into this talk?  What is the problem?  Why is it an interesting problem?  Give an example! (e.g. Battlefield monitoring)  Of course by using a diagram in the first slide Motivation

34. 두괄식으로 하라

35. Keep To your Timeline! (conference) Absolutely without fail, finish on time  Audiences get restive and essentially stop listening when your time is up. Continuing is very counter productive  Simply truncate and conclude

36. When you present in English Memorize the script first, then control the speed and improve styles –e.g., make it more colloquial !!! –Nothing is possible without memorizing the script !!! Rehearse more than 10 times Start preparing before a month If you do this 3 times – 영어를 득도하리라 –The best way to master English!!!

37. Q & A Questions are not a problem Questions are a golden golden golden op portunity to connect with your audience Specifically encourage questions during y our talk: –pause briefly now and then, ask for questions
