Program

At RET'19, We will continue with the presentation format introduced in RET'18, the X-ray sessions. The goal is to facilitate the conversation between workshop audience and presenters. At the end, we hope that all participants leave the workshop with the feeling (best case, even with evidence) that they have learned something.

Each paper presentation has an allotted time between 45 and 60 minutes. Presenters will be coached by a mentor (a member of the RET'19 OC). The content of each presentation consists of:

  1. 15-20 minutes paper presentation (as in regular conferences)
  2. 20-30 minutes X-ray, consisting of one or more of the following activities (this is not an exhaustive list):
    • provide a demo of the presented tool / approach
    • explain and demonstrate pitfalls in the presented analysis / technique
    • include the audience to do a quick tutorial / exercise
    • use polling to get input from the audience (see directpoll.com)
    • gather data from the audience as data points for future studies
    • pilot ideas with the audience / user their expertise
    • demonstrate / discuss what has happened since the study presented in the paper has been written up. New developments? Unforeseen obstacles? New ideas?
    • elaborate how does the study presented in the paper contribute to RET
  3. 10 minutes discussion/questions

The OC is looking forward to meet you in Montréal!
