1-4 slides (make it engaging)
Should capture
Approximately one bullet, high level, for each of the following (the paper on 1 slide).
1 or more slides
The background someone needs to understand this paper
That wasn’t just covered in a lecture or presentation
1 or more slides
Problem Setup, Definitions, Notation
Be precise-- should be as formal as in the paper
1 or more slides
Which other papers have tried to tackle this problem or a related problem?
Maybe have a few slides on other important/competing papers
Likely >1 slide
Describe algorithm or framework (pseudocode and flowcharts can help)
What is it trying to optimize?
Implementation details should be left out here, but may be discussed later if its relevant for limitations / experiments
What are the assumptions made for the theory? Are these reasonable? Realistic?
If the theory build strongly on other prior theory / results, reference those and state them here.
In what cases does the theory apply? How helpful is it, really?
State main results formally
Give proof sketches
Refer students to the full proofs in paper
What kind of computational resources were used? Is it feasible for a normal researcher/practitioner to use?
>=1 slide
State results
Show figures / tables / plots
>=1 slide
What conclusions are drawn from the results?
Are the stated conclusions fully supported by the results and references? If so, why? (Recap the relevant supporting evidences from the given results + refs)
What were the details of the hardware demonstrations (show videos if available)
How realistic was the demonstration? Was it in a very closed environment or more open?
1 or more slides: What are the key limitations of the proposed approach / ideas? (e.g. does it require strong assumptions that are unlikely to be practical? Computationally expensive? Require a lot of data? Find only local optima? )
If follow up work has addressed some of these limitations, include pointers to that. But don’t limit your discussion only to the problems / limitations that have already been mentioned/addressed.
How has this changed research in the field, or even how has it changed the world?
Tip: Use Google scholar cited-by links or connectedpapers.com:
1 or more slides: What interesting questions does it raise for future work?
Approximately one bullet for each of the following (the paper on 1 slide)
