As part I of the mandatory course project each group should choose a research paper, read and understand it, and record and submit a short video with the paper presentation.
Here are the rules for the video presentation of the research paper:
- video presentation should be something around 5 minutes and should use a few slides
- each group should publish the title of the paper of choice in the special spreadsheet (see a previous message in this forum)
- video presentation should be submitted before the written final exam; if two students in a group decide to take the written exam in different sessions, then the full project should be submitted before the date of the earliest session
- when the video is ready, upload it into a shared folder, publish the url in the spreadsheet, and mark the submission entry for part I with 'yes'
- for any file that you will produce and upload, choose a file name that includes your names as prefix
This year, papers should be chosen from the proceedings of the 63nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers), year 2025 (1,699 papers). You can access these papers at this link.
As for your presentation, use a front slide with paper title, author names, and your names. Start presenting yourself by saying your names. Move on with a description of the topic of the paper and a very short overview of previous work. Present the technical specification of the proposal or result, followed by the experimental evaluation, if any. Conclude with the perspective applications. If you work in a group with two participants, make sure the presentation is equally divided, with both students touching upon some of the technical content.
