Some principles about how to give talks.


==Heilmeier Catechism==
[https://www.darpa.mil/work-with-us/heilmeier-catechism Link]
* What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon.
* How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?
* What is new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?
* Who cares? If you are successful, what difference will it make?
* What are the risks?
* How much will it cost?
* How long will it take?
* What are the mid-term and final “exams” to check for success?

==Overview and Introduction of Papers==
* Give intuition behind the method. What led up to this idea?
* Selling a paper vs. Giving an unbiased overview
** Make sure to mention limitations and weaknesses
** What parts of the problem can still be improved?
** What problems are still unsolved by the technique?
* Quality vs. performance
** If the paper only mentions one, it probably suffers in the other.
** "A few milliseconds" How many? 5ms? 500ms?
** "High-resolution" How high? 64x64? 8k?
