​The NeurIPS Global South in AI Meetup's main objective is to offer an annual multidisciplinary academic meetup with the highest ethical standards for a diverse and inclusive community in order to promote the exchange of research achievements in Language artificial intelligence and machine learning. The global south, which has a long history of colonization, has taken charge of its language AI with renewed zeal in an effort to create a new world order that will be built on a past of colonization and create language richness within AI. This cannot be satisfied by translation models built with transfer learning or the latest Zero-Shot Machine Translation 7 model which is adding more languages without the AI getting a single line of translated data. We need the global south to come together to build language models in a way that works efficiently and with the story of our history. This workshop is the beginning of that journey.

​This WeeklyWed we are conducting a poster building session where we walk you through on the building blocks to do a poster from an abstract. Best part is that it is a Workshop so come with your ideas and bring your abstracts and let us do an enticing poster out of it.

​Join us this Wednesday 14th of Sept, 2022 at 9 AM PST to watch how to create a poster with an abstract and to create a poster with us on the spot. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to understand these methods practically which one day might come in handy if you want to write out a research grant or a proposal for your research.

​Posters are widely used in the academic community, and most conferences include poster presentations in their program.  Research posters summarize information or research concisely and attractively to help publicize it and generate discussion. 

​The poster is usually a mixture of a brief text mixed with tables, graphs, pictures, and other presentation formats. At a conference, the researcher stands by the poster display while other participants can come and view the presentation and interact with the author.

​First we start from abstract which is a self-contained summary of a larger work such as the research we have conducted 

​Abstract is meant to “preview” the bigger document. Like a trailer of a movie.

​An abstract can determine whether or not someone becomes interested in your work. Aside from enticing readers, abstracts are also useful organizational tools that help other researchers and academics find papers relevant to their work.

​Abstracts are also important for search engine optimization (SEO)—namely, for getting digital copies of your paper to appear in search engine results. If someone Googles the words used in your abstract, the link to your paper will appear higher in the search results, making it more likely to get clicks. 

​How long should an abstract be?

​When do you need to write an abstract? 

​What to include in an abstract?

​Introduction

​The beginning of your abstract should provide a broad overview of the entire project, just like the thesis statement. 

​What is the purpose of the paper 

​What is the problem that is seen in the real world?

​Objective 

​In the one or two sentences at the top, you want to disclose the purpose of your paper, such as what problem it attempts to solve and why the reader should be interested. You’ll also need to explain the context around it, including any historical references and what is the gap you are trying to cover.

​Methods: 

​Methodology of your research, or how you collected the data.If you’re using original research, you should disclose which analytical methods you used to collect your data, If you’re expounding on previous data, this is a good place to cite which data and from where to avoid plagiarism. 

​What is the data collection procedure?

​How they execute it?

​What is the quality and preprocessing procedure?

​How they executed this project?

​Results

​For informative abstracts, it’s okay to “give away the ending.” In one or two sentences, summarize the results of your paper and the conclusive outcome. Remember that the goal of most abstracts is to inform, not entice, so mentioning your results here can help others better classify and categorize your paper. 

​This is often the biggest section of your abstract. It involves most of the concrete details surrounding your paper, so don’t be afraid to give it an extra sentence or two compared to the others. 

​What are the findings?

​What are the practical contribution?

​What is the novelty of the research?

​Discussion

​The discussion section explains the ultimate conclusion and its ramifications. Based on the data and examination, what can we take away from this paper? The discussion section often goes beyond the scope of the project itself, including the implications of the research or what it adds to its field as a whole.
