Midterm Presentations

Here are the instructions for your midterm presentations next week.  Put your presentation slides in a Google Presentation in this directory:

Your slides must be set to auto advance.  Instructions for doing that are here:

You can make the timings be whatever you like, but they must automatically advance to the next slide.  You have five minutes to present, and there will be a hard cutoff.  Following your five minute talk, there will be ten minutes for discussion, questions, and comments.  The way to be successful with this presentation format is to practice your talk.  You should practice it out loud, from start to finish, at least three times, in order to do it smoothly and get the transitions right.

Your presentation should include a table of results, with at least some results.  It's okay if the results aren't very good, but you should have at least run some algorithm on the dataset you plan to use and assessed its effectiveness.  You should also discuss your plans for the rest of the semester.
