06 | Second team presentation

Objectives

In another ~8-minute-long presentation¹ your team will:

• Introduce (ideally, on a single slide) the members of your team, their research interests, and technical proficiencies.
• Tell us about the question that you are seeking to address. This part of your presentation should begin with an overview of the big picture (e.g., a high-level overview of your chosen topic and why it is important to work on) and then provide background for non-experts.
• Present a problem statement (e.g., here, we will use $X, Y, Z$ to predict $A, B, C$), letting us know what your inputs and desired outputs are.
• Acquire, characterize, and visualize some portion of your input data. Essentially, by the end of your presentation, we all should have a clear picture of what the data you will be working with are like.

Evaluation

The instructors will evaluate you on (in order of importance):

• Completeness: Did you fulfill all of the objectives?
• Content quality: Are your (i.) topics/questions, (ii.) data sources, and (iii.) data characterization(s) well-developed and of high quality?
• Presentation: Is your presentation compelling (i.e., both from a narrative and visual standpoint), clear, and concise?
• Timing: Did you follow the time limits?

Deadline

We will hear from each team during class on Friday, January 23.
