Paper Presentations¶
If you are a student in CSCI 6800 or CSCI 4800H, then please read this entire page for important information regarding your HCI research paper presentation requirement. Students enrolled in CSCI 4800 are not subject to the requirements described on this page.

Syllabus: Principle Assignments: Paper Presentations.
Getting Started¶
For this assignment, you will need to find, read, synthesize, and present and HCI research paper that has been recently published in a peer-reviewed journal or conference proceedings. When you read the paper, you are expected to follow Keshav’s three-pass approach. At the time of this writing, Dr. S. Keshav is the Robert Sansom Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge. To get started, you should read about Dr. Keshav’s three-pass approach to reading a paper here:
In the “Related Work” section of “How to Read a Paper,” Dr. Keshav mentions that there is a “review matrix” available that simplifies the note-taking involved in the three-pass approach. An adapted version of that matrix is available here:
You will be asked to produce a synthesis matrix as evidence to support that you followed the three-pass process. It should go without saying, but please take this seriously and fill out your matrix as you read through the paper during each of the three passes.
Assignments¶
Register a Presentation Date¶
Students in CSCI 6800 and CSCI 4800H should follow the instructions provided below to register for a paper presentation date on a first come, first serve basis.
Important
You do not need to have your paper chosen prior to registering for a presentation date. There will be a separate due date for that.
- Due Date
FRI 2021-09-03 @ 11:55 PM
Instructions
Go to the course eLC page.
Select “Groups” from the navigation bar.
Select “Paper Presentations” from the list of categories.
You should now see a list of paper presentation dates. Each date is interpreted by eLC as a one-person group. Select a date for your presentation and enroll in its associated group.
Important
If you do not enroll yourself in a group before the deadline, then you may be automatically assigned to one at random by your instructor.
Important
After you register for a paper presentation time slot, please double check that you are the only person registered for that time slot. If not, then it is your responsibility to resolve the issue: discuss this with the other student(s) who enrolled for that time slot, then let Dr. Cotterell know who to unenroll.
Pick a Paper¶
Students in CSCI 6800 and CSCI 4800H should follow the instructions provided below to submit the citation and DOI for the paper they will present.
- Due Date
SUN 2021-09-19 @ 11:55 PM
Instructions
Utilize the resources in the Where to Find Papers section below to find a SIGCHI-sponsored full research paper published in 2020 or later to read and present to the class.
Identify the paper’s citation ond DOI1.
Go to the course eLC page.
Select “Assignments” from the navigation bar.
Use the “Pick a Paper” assignment dropbox to submit the paper citation and DOI.
- 1
If the paper you picked is available through the ACM Digital Library, then the citation and DOI can be found by clicking the “Export Citation” button (appears as a quotation mark) and selecting ACM Ref from the dropdown list.
Literature Review Matrix¶
Students in CSCI 6800 and CSCI 4800H should follow the instructions provided below to submit the literature review matrix they completed prior to putting together their presentation for the paper they chose.
- Due Date
No later than the FRI before your paper presentation date at 11:55 PM.
Instructions
As you make multiple passes through the research paper, fill out the review matrix. Not only will this help you understand the paper better, it will also help you stay focussed when preparing your presentation.
Go to the course eLC page.
Select “Assignments” from the navigation bar.
Use the “Literature Review Matrix” assignment dropbox to submit your matrix.
Warning
The due date on the eLC assignment dropbox may not match your actual due date. Remember, your completed review matrix is due no later than the FRI before your paper presentation date at 11:55 PM.
Presentation¶
Students in CSCI 6800 and CSCI 4800H should follow the instructions provided below regarding their in-class paper presentation.
- Due Date
Your paper presentation date.
Instructions
Give a 25 - 30 minute presentation to the class on one or more contributions presented in the paper.
You must be mindful of your target audience: they are mostly undergraduate students who have not read the paper.
With that in mind, you might want to focus your presentation on the answers you provided to the “2nd pass” questions in your review matrix.
Include visual aids when possible, and try to help the audience relate to the material you’re presenting.
Please be sure to describe the methods used in the paper, when applicable. This may require you to consult other resources.
You must give your presentation live and in-class. Prerecorded presentations will not be allowed.
After your presentation, you should take questions from the audience, and do your best to answer those questions. You might not be able to answer them all, and that’s okay.
Where to Find Papers¶
The ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) describes itself as the premier international society for professionals, academics and students who are interested in human-technology and HCI. You may pick any SIGCHI-sponsored full research paper published in 2020 or later, unless that paper has already been chosen by another student. Your instructor will let you know if you need pick another paper. Here are some popular sources for high-quality SIGCHI-sponsored research papers:
- ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI)
TOCHI is a scientific journal that covers the software, hardware and human aspects of interaction with computers.
- ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI)
The ACM CHI series of academic conferences is generally considered the most prestigious in the field of human-computer interaction. CHI has been held annually since 1982 and attracts thousands of international attendees.
