I once published a paper at ACL where the name of the algorithm was ACL.

my hypothesis for why AI-generated slides for technical presentations are so awful:View quoted post on X
people who don't have a lot of experience presenting think that to make a talk you just put all of the stuff you want to talk about on the slides, then you go through each slide and say the stuff the slide says.
how you're actually supposed to prepare a presentation: you decide what to say, write it out as a rough script, then put maybe 3% of the text on the slide, plus a bunch of visual aides (e.g. plots that only include data you're planning to discuss).
AI-generated presentations are mostly the former. they have a ton of stuff the presenter never mentions, and the stuff that is most useful for the presenter is absent or not highlighted. they include enough content for a presentation 10 times longer than the actual presentation is supposed to be.
maybe try doing it the other way: first write the script for what you actually want to say, and make sure you can say all of it in the time you have. then prompt the model to create the slides based on the script. ask it to use as little text a possible, and a minimalist visual style rather than the claude house style. you can thank me later (I accept both venmo and zelle).
Excited to share that we received two Outstanding Paper Awards at #EMNLP2026馃敟View quoted post on X
