B652: Machine Learning
Spring 2011
Miniconference Schedule

Two-person presentation slots are a total of 15 minutes, divided between the two presenters. Single-person presentations are 10 minutes each. A good rule of thumb is to not try to cover more than one slide per minute. The instructor will track time to let presenters know when they need to conclude. Both slot lengths include time for questions, so please be sure to practice your talk with a timer so that you'll be able to cover everything and stop in time for a question or two!
