Project Seminar Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

Dear all,

this is a kind reminder that the Poster Session of the Project Seminar DSAI will take place tomorrow, Wednesday June 23rd, from 10-12h in HS002 in E1.3.

To recall: You will be asked to briefly pitch your poster at the beginning of the session. Afterwards, we will move to the foyer for the actual poster session. There will be something to drink and some sweets. At the end, we will do a popular vote for the best poster and give out prizes to the winner.

Also, please note it is evaluation time again: https://qualis.uni-saarland.de/eva/?l=11345&p=wimv7i

We will give you 5 minutes at the beginning of tomorrow's session to evaluate the seminar.

Very much looking forward meeting you all again tomorrow!

Best,
Till

Dear students,

I hope your projects are all on track! As the deadline for the poster submissions is approaching (17.06. end of day), here some details:

1) Please submit your poster in DIN A0 format as a .pdf-file via CMS.
2) Please ensure that all elements (especially the figures) are in high-enough quality so they are legible and look good when printed.
3) You do not need to print the posters yourself, we will do that for you.
4) There is no pre-defined poster template you have to adhere to. It should give the reader a good idea about what you are doing and why you are doing it (that means, summary, motivation, details on data and methods, results, shortcomings). You can find a previous years' poster winner as an example here for some initial orientation, if needed. Also, a good practice example is this poster here that recently won a 'Best Poster' award at the renowned ICWSM'26 Conference.
5) Since final code and report submission deadline is not before July 31st, we do not expect you that you already present your final results on the poster. However, it should be clearly visible that you worked on this project substantially and that you are able to show some initial findings.

The Poster Session itself will consist of two parts: First part, your team briefly pitches the poster to the others (1-2 minutes, no slides) to spark interest. Second part, we have a poster exhibition in front of the hall where you can have a look at the other posters and explain your poster to them. At the end, you will be able to vote for the best poster and the winners get a small prize.

Hope this helps to prepare, let me know, in case you have questions.

Looking forward to all your contributions,
Till

Dear students,

Otherwise, you will *NOT* be able to participate in this year's project seminar. Eligible are BSc students in the DSAI program and the Plus MINT program with the DSAI focus that fulfill the requirements outlined on the main page of this CMS course.
