An Extraction Technique for Presentation Schema embedded in Presentation Documents

Abstract

The main topic addressed in this paper is to help a novice graduate/undergraduate student compose his/her presentation document by means of presentation schema that represents heuristics for presenting research contents to be shared by laboratory members. The key idea is to propose a model of presentation structure, which represents roles of and sequences among presentation slides included in the documents with metadata. Following this model, the presentation schema is defined as a typical presentation structure for the laboratory members. This paper accordingly introduces a technique based on association rule mining for automatically extracting the presentation schema from the repository of the documents accumulated in the laboratory. In addition, we report case studies for investigating how to configure the thresholds of the mining and how the schema extracted is valid in comparing the ones between different laboratories.
