Submission Milestones

All submissions have to be sent to the supervisor until 12:00 (noon) via mail. Include the tag [ISS] and the name of the topic as well as the milestone (e.g., "[ISS] Explainable AI, Report Outline").

Literature Review & Report Outline

Prepare 7+ topic-related research papers with a contribution and benefits statement stating the contribution type. Provide a clear structure of the final paper submission. What is the storyline you want to convey? How are you introducing the topic? What are the arguments you are providing? How are you connecting the papers to each other and your arguments? Include your papers into this structure.

Slides

The first complete version of your presentation slides (Powerpoint, Keynote, Prezi, ....). Hand in slides that you would confidently use for a presentation on the next day.

Presentation (50% of Grade)

The presentation in front of the other students and your supervisor. We expect a well-prepared presentation. Test your talk at least once in the room where you are going to present to familiarise yourself with the equipment and test your slides on the beamer in the room. The presentation time will be 20 minutes followed by a 10 minutes discussion where you will get feedback and questions from your supervisor and your peers. We encourage a constructive feedback interaction where you can learn from each other and have a fun conversation on how to improve your presentation style.

Final Report (50% of Grade)

Your seminar paper should contain 10 content pages in the ACM Extended Abstract Template). We expect you to submit a version which has no spelling mistakes, a closed argumentation, a complete bibliography, including all figures.

You can download the template or set up a collaborative Latex project using Overleaf.

Report Feedback

After your submission of the final report, there is an additional feedback meeting in which the report is discussed. This should take place around two weeks after your submission.

Milestone Dates

For the milestones "Literature Review and Report Outline" and "Test Presentation" you can get feedback from your supervisor. For this, make an appointment in the week after the submission deadline.
