The document summarizes key factors for creating a successful TED talk based on an analysis of data about past talks. It recommends choosing an engaging topic that people can easily connect with, such as happiness, food or emotions rather than more technical topics. It also suggests talking for as long as possible, over 50% longer than less popular talks. Additionally, the speaker should have longer hair than average, wear glasses, and dress slightly nicer than typical to appeal to viewers. The most crucial element is maintaining a positive mood on stage.
This presentation reports the statistical analysis of TED Talks. It reports various parameters which define the success of a TED Talk and similary failure of a TED Talk. It is the summary of the TED Talk "Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics" by Sebastian Wernicke

Start your first paragraph here. The best way to use this template is to read through the
entire document first. Then, delete each section as you fill it in with your essay content. This
template is formatted to meet APA’s requirements, so when you delete the sections one at a time,
you will see that your work is formatted properly. This is the introduction paragraph. Here you
want to introduce your topic and grab the reader’s attention. Your introduction paragraph should
be 4–6 sentences long and will include your thesis statement. Remember, the thesis statement
states the main focus or main idea of the entire essay and is normally the last sentence in the
introduction; however, more importantly, it should be obvious what your thesis statement is.
Begin the second paragraph here. This is your first body paragraph. Paragraphs should be
between 5–12 sentences. Your body paragraphs should begin with the paragraph’s topic, which is
the topic sentence. This topic sentence explains the main focus of this paragraph, and should
clearly relate to your thesis statement. Next, you will include supporting details. If you are using
research (sources), this is where you should include them; most importantly, this is also where
you use in-text citations to cite other people’s ideas from your sources (Author, date). Finally, the
last sentence of a body paragraph concludes the paragraph and loops back to the paragraph’s
main focus.
Begin the third paragraph here. This is your second body paragraph. Paragraphs should
be between 5–12 sentences. Your body paragraphs should begin with the paragraph’s topic,
which is the topic sentence. This topic sentence explains the main focus of this paragraph, and
should clearly relate to your thesis statement. Next, you will include supporting details. If you
are using research (sources), this is where you should include them; most importantly, this is also
where you use in-text citations to cite other people’s ideas from your sources (Author, date).
Finally, the last sentence of a body paragraph concludes the paragraph and loops back to the
paragraph’s main focus.
Begin the fourth paragraph here. This is your third body paragraph. Paragraphs should be
between 5–12 sentences. Your body paragraphs should begin with the paragraph’s topic, which is
the topic sentence. This topic sentence explains the main focus of this paragraph, and should
clearly relate to your thesis statement. Next, you will include supporting details. If you are using

Conference presentations are the moment to share your results, and to connect with researchers about future directions. However, presentations are often created as an afterthought and as a result they are often not as exciting as they could be.
In this slidedeck Felienne Hermans shares hands-on techniques to engage an audience.
The talk covers the entire spectrum of presenting: we start with advice on how to structure a talk and how to incorporate a core message into it. Once we have addressed the right structure for a talk, we will work on adding stories and arcs of tension to your presentation. Finally, to really perform as a presenter, we will talk about how slide design and body language can support your presentation.
Deep misconceptions and the myth of data driven NLUWalid Saba
Early efforts to find theoretically elegant formal models for various linguistic phenomena did not result in any noticeable progress, despite nearly three decades of intensive research (late 1950’s through the late 1980’s ). As the various formal (and in most cases mere symbol manipulation) systems seemed to reach a deadlock, disillusionment in the brittle logical approach to language processing grew larger, and a number of researchers and practitioners in natural language processing (NLP) started to abandon theoretical elegance in favor of attaining some quick results using empirical (data-driven) approaches.
All seemed natural and expected. In the absence of theoretically elegant models that can explain a number of NL phenomena, it was quite reasonable to find researchers shifting their efforts to finding practical solutions for urgent problems using empirical methods. By the mid 1990’s, a data-driven statistical revolution that was already brewing over took the field of NLP by a storm, putting aside all efforts that were rooted in over 200 years of work in logic, metaphysics, grammars and formal semantics.
We believe, however, that this trend has overstepped the noble cause of using empirical methods to find reasonably working solutions for practical problems. In fact, the data-driven approach to NLP is now believed by many to be a plausible approach to building systems that can truly understand ordinary spoken language. This is not only a misguided trend, but is a very damaging development that will hinder significant progress in the field. In this regard, we hope this study will help start a sane, and an overdue, semantic (counter) revolution.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.
About the Speaker
===============
Diogo Sousa, Engineering Manager @ Canonical
An opinionated individual with an interest in cryptography and its intersection with secure software development.
This presentation by Morris Kleiner (University of Minnesota), was made during the discussion “Competition and Regulation in Professions and Occupations” held at the Working Party No. 2 on Competition and Regulation on 10 June 2024. More papers and presentations on the topic can be found out at oe.cd/crps.
This presentation was uploaded with the author’s consent.
4. TOPIC
There's a whole range of topics you can choose, but you
should choose wisely, because your topic strongly
correlates with how users will react to your talk.
Data reveals that if you talk about how French coffee will
spread happiness in our brains, that's a go. Whereas, if
you wanted to talk about your project involving oxygen,
girls, aircraft ; statistics say it's not so good.
5.
6. The most favorite TED Talks are those that feature
topics we can connect with, both easily and
deeply, such as happiness, our own body, food,
emotions. And the more technical topics, such as
architecture, materials and, strangely enough,
men, those are not good topics to talk about.
7. DELIVERY
TALK FOR AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE!
Because the most favorite TED Talks are, on
average, over 50 percent longer than the least
favorite ones.
8.
9. It's okay for the speaker
to fake intellectual
capacity.
“etc etc”
10.
11. VISUALS
The most obvious visual thing on stage is the
speaker. And analysis shows if you want to be among
the most favorite TED speakers, you should let your
hair grow a little bit longer than average, make sure
you wear your glasses and be slightly more dressed-
up than the average TED speaker.
