GUIDELINES FOR SEMINAR-EXAM

You are assigned a 20’ minutes slot (excluding questions). 
Any time plus or minus will be evaluated negatively.

The talk should be tuned for the actual audience: the class of this course. So, not for the professor only, not for experts as it would be at the real conference. The speaker can thus assume that the audience knows any topic addressed during the course, but any extra necessary information gained that is necessary to understand the seminar should be given.

A few general suggestion on the structure of the talk (of course then every paper has its own specificities):
A title slide, a summary slide with the structure of the talk; 
The motivations of the problem (biology), why it is interesting/useful.
The formal computer science problem; yhy it is open (related work and their limitations).
The solution suggested, idea of the method’s novelty, why and how it is better than others or anyhow good. 
Experiments that validate (if any).

GENERAL ADVISES:
Do not fill in slides with text: better draw examples, give ideas of the tricks rather than definitions, theorems statements…
Do not fill in slides with technicalities such as full proofs.
