A Framework for Presentation Slide Design Support

Presentation slide composition is an important job for knowledge workers. Many researchers propose slide generation and composition methods for presentation slides. A primary challenge of the proposed methods is to generate presentation slides automatically, users have no choice about the structure of the presentation, and cannot participate in the contents and the layouts of the slides. In this paper, We investigate the problem of presentation design support and propose a design support system. Users may select topics to design the presentation structures first, and input or search the contents for the topics, then allot these components into different pages, finally decide the layouts of the slides. A system with a user-friendly interface is designed, based on which experiments are performed to evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
