Data Mining & Machine Learning Group Ch. Eick Assignment 5

Assignment5 Details The project is a group project; take advantage of your increased

man-power and subdivide work between group members intelligently.

Groups submit a 9-11 (12-14; for groups with 3 students) page (single-spaced) report and give a 10 (15) minute presentation on December 1 (one or two), or December 3, 2009.

Most Topics require a web search; include a summary of the most recent development in the field of your investigation in your report and presentation.

Each group should meet Dr. Eick once during his office hour either in the Nov. 9 or Nov. 16 week.

The report should follow the “traditional” organization: Introduction-…(Main_Part)-Summary-References

Each group member is expected to participate in the group’s presentation.

Presentations are uploaded at 9:55a on Dec 1/3!

Data Mining & Machine Learning Group Ch. Eick Assignment 5

Thoughts on Presentations speak loudly and freely --- do not read! make a plan for your presentation. Give a brief overview of your presentation at the

beginning Introduce the topic of your presentation clearly. In general, a presentation consists of: introduction,

main-part, conclusion. Finish your presentation with a conclusion that

summarizes your results/findingsnever skip the conclusion.

Thoughts on Presentations2 Establish goals for your presentation --- what is / are the

message / messages of your presentation? Prepare the presentation taking the viewpoint of a person

that will listen to your presentation. Make a "proud presentation" --- if you aren't, pretend to be

proud. Interact with the audience; keep the audience awake (make

a joke, Tell a story, challenge / tease / reward / punish / surprise the

audience, use funny examples, ask questions. Try to refer to previous presentations. Establish contexts and context shifts clearly. Don't get lost in technical detailsunless they are important

for the message of your talk.

Presentations Part3 If you get completely lost in your presentation --- take a deap

breath pause for a 20 seconds, and continue (?!?). Use transparencies and/or the blackboard. Do not write too much on a transparency (about 5-12 lines; does not apply to examples). Use large fonts. Use Large Fonts! Use Color!! Unreadable transparencies are unacceptable! Don't put

unrelated things on the same transparency! Use examples; general descriptions of algorithms or concepts

are very hard to understand. A picture is worth more than 1000 words!! Answer questions politely! You need not to answer questions

immediately. Don't let questions mess up your presentation. You are allowed to postpone answering questions.

Presentation Part4 Important things should be said more than once. Take your time --- do not hurry through your presentation (unless

near the end). Make a schedule for your presentation; check the schedule during

your presentation. Subdivide your presentation into mandatory parts and optional parts (parts that can be skipped if you run out of time).

Practice your presentation --- entertain your cat / grandmother / Don't stand in front whatever you present. Keep eye-contact with the audience! Try to read the audience

reaction to what you are presenting and use this know for the remainder/next presentation.

Smile from time to time --- this is not a funeral! Be emotional in the sense that the audience feels that you

identifyyourself with the contents of your presentation --- you have something important to tell! Try to convice the audience!

Try to entertain!
