How to give an effective research
presentation
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
한다 . • 첫 번째 page 에 그림이 나와야 한다 . • 감정을 표현 하라• Presentation is performance
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
Outline of 1st phase presentation
• Title• Table of Content• Motivation
– Application Scenario (if needed)• Problem• Goal of the project
1st phase
• Example
1st 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
2nd phase
• Title• Table of Content• Motivation
– Application Scenario (if needed)• Problem• Solution Approach (Key idea)• Technical challenges• Related work
2nd phase
• Solution approach– You must identify the key idea.
• “ Scalable P2P structure” is No Good.• “Scalable File Sharing through decentralized/distributed file inde
xing” is better
– Be specific. Don’t leave your audience to figure it out for themselves.
– Be absolutely specific. Say “If you remember nothing else, remember this.”
– Organize your talk around this specific goal. Ruthlessly prune material that is irrelevant to the key idea.
2nd 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
Gory details
2nd phase
• Example
2nd 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
2nd phase
• Example
2nd phase
• Example
2nd 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
2nd phase
• Example
2nd 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
2nd phase
• Example
3rd 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
3rd 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
3rd 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
3rd 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
3rd 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
General tips for an effective presentation
1. While preparing your slide2. While giving a talk3. While facing questions
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? …
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
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
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
While preparing your slides
개념화
구체적 , 명료한 단어 선택
구조화
그림 (if possible)
Process of slide production
While Giving Your Talk: Being seen, being heard
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…
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
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 detailsTo engage, excite, provoke them
You should conquer them in the introductory partBy using a interesting scenario
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
두괄식으로 하라
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
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!!!
Q & A
• Questions are not a problem
• Questions are a golden golden golden opportunity to connect with your audience
• Specifically encourage questions during your talk: – pause briefly now and then, ask for questions
