Evaluation:
-
The scope of this award is to have the presenters working on the clarity of thoughts and focus on the main concept of the paper: which the question to answer is and how.
-
The evaluation is based on 4 aspects: impact, novelty, presentation, video quality.
-
The video, hence, will support the understanding of the whole paper, but in three minutes the focus should be on the novel concept or novel application of the work. Being comprehensive, though succinct, shall be the backbone supporting the effort of delivering a great presentation, ever!
