The goal of a presentation at a conference is not to tell the audience about everything that's in your paper. The goal is to get the audience to actually read your paper. So

  • Don't try to cram in every experimental detail.
  • Don't try to present every single result.

Other tips:

  • memorize initial script
  • know your audience (example, explaining GCN)
  • advertisement for paper
  • don't read things on your slides (for example, exact numbers)
  • don't repeat the session chair

TODO: rework these into actual propse.

Every talk at #emnlp2019:
Chair: The next speaker is X from Y university who will speak about Z.
Speaker: Hi, I'm X from Y university, I will be talking about Z.
