1 Information Literacy II EN(IL2) Course LaTeX and Presentation Skills

2 Previous Lecture More on Latex - Labels and references - Tables - Formatting commands - Special characters and Japanese fonts - Other useful commands

3 Today Even more on Latex - Example with Japanese fonts - Citations and bibliography - Other useful packages Presentation skills

4 Next Week Attention: Different room South Building 4, 3F, Room 1 Entrance: in front of 7-Eleven Same schedule: 10:45 12:15

5 Japanese fonts \documentclass{article} \usepackage{xecjk} \setcjkmainfont{ms Mincho} 1) Use the xecjk package, 2) Specify the font. \begin{document} LATEX( ラテックラテフ ) とはレスリーランポートによって開発されたテキストベースの組版処理システムである電子組版ソフトウェア TEX にマクロパッケージを組み込むことによって構築されており単体の TEX に比べてより手軽に組版を行うことができるようになっている \LaTeX と表記できない場合は``LaTeX'' と表記する \end{document} Attention: - Need to use xelatex, - Need to use UTF-8 encoding. Possible to mix English and Japanese in the same document. Possible to add sans-serif fonts: \setcjksansfont{ms Gothic}

6 Citation and Bibliography \begin{document} One of the earliest books on \TeX{} was the work by Knuth~\cite{knuth84}. A classical presentation on \LaTeX{} can be found in the book by Lamport~\cite{lamport94}. \begin{thebibliography}{9} \bibitem{knuth84} Donald E. Knuth, \textit{the TeXbook}, Addison Wesley, Massachusetts, \bibitem{lamport94} Leslie Lamport, \textit{\latex: a document preparation system}, Addison Wesley, Massachusetts, 2nd edition, \end{thebibliography} \end{document} Use the \cite{unique_key} command to cite a document. Create the bibliography with the \bibitem{unique_key} command inside the thebibliography environment. Include author, title, publisher, year, conference/journal name, pages, Possible to cite multiple documents together: \cite{key1, key2, }

7 Citation and Bibliography Second option: Use bibtex Less manual, more flexible, easier to re-use Create a separate.bib file Contains all bibliographic information Use \cite{ } command Tell Latex which.bib file to use (here biblio.bib ): \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{biblio}

8 Citation and author = {Greenwade, George D. }, title = {The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})}, year = {1993}, journal = {TUGBoat}, volume = {14}, number = {3}, pages = { }, author = {Goossens, Michel and Mittelbach, Frank and Samarin, Alexander}, title = {The LaTeX Companion}, year = {1993}, publisher = {Addison-Wesley}, address = {Reading, Massachusetts}, } Many examples online. Bibtex entries can be found online; e.g. google scholar, dblp, For authors, use the format: Name, first_names And the keyword and between }

9 Other useful packages CTAN: Comprehensive TeX Archive Network Repository of all Tex/Latex packages amsmath, amsthm, amssymb Many math symbols, theorem/lemma/proof environement, hyperref Add clickable link to website, address, subfig, caption Add more options for figures; e.g. side-by-side figures array, multirow Add more options for tabular/array environments

10 Other useful packages (more complex) Beamer (to be used as a documentclass) Create presentation slides tikz Create pictures pgfplots Create plots animate Create animations

11 Presentation Skills Slides adapted from Prof. Défago s slides

12 Purpose of the presentation Communicate an idea

13 Building the presentation Identify the Key Idea Build an Argument Context Form the Story storyboard Design Deliver Needs Problem

14 Storyboard

15 Organize your thoughts

16 Organize your thoughts

17 At first, use just paper and pen

18 Prepare basic pictures and storylines

20 Prepare the basic slide structure

21 Presentation Components Overview Overview Related Work What is the presentation about? Give motivating example State your message Problem Statement Contribution Assessment Conclusion

31 Noise (Useless information) Signal/Noise Ratio Signal (Elements useful for understanding the point)

32 Q1: What is the noise?

33 Q1: Analysis Improvements of S/N Ratio: (1) Remove the borders (2) Remove the grid lines (3) Uniformize the background color Emphasize the main point Comparison with S. Korea (use color) Legend labels Anything else that can be improved?

34 Q2: What is the noise?

35 Q2: Analysis Remove the borders Graph: 3D 2D, legend labels Title: Underline removed Icon removed, the source name's font size decreased Anything else that can be improved?

36 Q3: What is the noise?

main Change the label position, 2007 '07, remove axes

37 Q3: Analysis Remove the background picture Remove the frame Graph: 3D 2D, uniformize the colors, leaving one main Change the label position, 2007 '07, remove axes Improvements achieved by removal (Short/Simple/Legible)

38 Signal / Noise In order to convey an important information, one often writes long sentences. However, the point, which needs to be explained, is quite short, and therefore a very little information is provided on the slide as a result. Clearly, a better method must be used. Unfortunately, about 80% of the students write their slides this way. (This slide is used as a negative example.)

50 Contrast Example 1 This is my favorite example for the incorrect color use. Making the yellow text brighter helps only a little. While making background darker helps a lot! Alternatively, one may consider to change the text color.

54 Data Representation

55 Guidelines for Charts Min. Effort for Reader most important aspect how much effort to understand? Example legend box direct labeling axes labels e.g., Daily CPU usage include units e.g., CPU [seconds]

56 Guidelines for Charts Avoid Ambiguity Show coordinate axis, scale divisions, origin Identify individual curves Avoid potential source of misunderstanding

57 Common Mistakes Many Variables on One Chart saves space, but harder to read. => message lost better: three different graphs Too many variables

58 Pictorial Games Nonzero Origin emphasize or conceal the difference Mine Mine 2600 Yours 2000 Yours

59 Pictorial Games Pictograms Scaled by Height exaggerate the difference

60 Pictorial Games Broken Scales in Column Charts exaggerate difference same as nonzero origin Response time [ms] A B C D E F System
