You can find the time and place of your talk here. The time slots for the talks are 20 minutes. Please use at most 17 minutes for your presentation, so that there are a few minutes left for questions. Due to the full schedule of the conference, the time limit is fixed and will be strictly enforced by the session chair.

We prefer you would upload the slides to the session shared drive day before the presentation. Or you can bring your presentation or on a USB type A flash drive (for USB type-C, please bring an adapter) to upload before the session. The native aspect ratio of the projectors is 16:10. A laser pointer is available.

You should be in the room at least 15 minutes before the start of your session. The session chair and a volunteer for technical support will be there as well. Please make sure to do the following: (1) approach the session chair, so that he/she knows you are there; (2) upload your talk on the laptop.

The poster presentation is meant to allow a more in-depth discussion of your work. There are two poster sessions. All authors who give their talk on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The format for posters is A1 vertical (594 x 841 mm). You can hang up your poster about half an hour before the start of your poster session. Paper IDs will be posted on the poster boards and pins will be available.

Thanks again for chairing a session at ECML PKDD in Vilnius. Please find some important information about this below:

General Info

Each room has a laptop. Speakers can choose to either upload their talk on this laptop or shared drive. In each room there will be a volunteer for technical support. We will provide signs to signal the remaining speaking time (5 min, 1 min, Stop) as well as a simple laser pointer.

Before your session

You should be in the room at least 15 minutes before the start of the session, so that you can make sure that for each paper: (1) a speaker is present; (2) you communicate with the speaker about the signs you use to signal how much time they have left and when they must stop; (3) the talk is uploaded or the speaker’s device has been tested to work with the projector and the available cables.

In case of missing speakers

If there is a paper without speaker, please check with the volunteer if one of the authors is present at the conference and can be contacted. If the speaker does not show up, please make sure that the starting times of the other talks remain as announced in the program. This is important since people may want to switch between sessions. So you can be more relaxed about the timing of the preceding talk and/or have a little break, but you should not move up the following talks.

During the session

It is very important to stick to the schedule. Each presenter has a 20 minute slot: 17 minutes for the talk and 3 minutes for short questions. This time for questions is only meant for clarifications and not for long discussions. For the latter, please point them to the poster session. If the audience does not have any questions, please try to ask a question yourself to get things going.
