What to Include in Your Poster?

Be creative, after all it is a presentation! You should be able to illustrate what your project can do.
Overall, your poster should be aligned with these recommendations:


key point Description
Overall Clarity of poster Define clear sections in your poster.
It should present the key points of your work, up to where you got with it.
Summarize ideas and consider using figures and tables to make it more illustrative as that will give a better sense of work done.
Introduction What are you trying to solve? Why is it important in the field?
Related work Previous work related to your topic that served as a baseline or motivation.
This would serve as your backup support in what you have developed.
Methods Which techniques did you apply?
You are strongly encouraged to add an illustration of your Machine Learning pipeline.
(suggested: figures)
Dataset Description of the dataset used, number of files, train and test partitions, labels, etc.
(suggested: tables)
Results Your experimental results.
What metrics did you use for evaluation?
How do your results compare to prior work or your baseline?
Conclusions summary analysis of your model and results.
Describe current results in each of the experiments aligned with your expectations.
Highlight a few limitations of your approach
(e.g., strong assumptions you had to make, constraints, when your method didn’t work in practice, etc.).
