Outline of Final Research Achievements

There have been increasing needs for training of presentation skills. In particular, skill of creation of presentation slides and their elaboration is quite important. However, it is generally difficult to train such skills. It is important for students to properly understand defective portions in slides so that they can polish the slides by themselves. However, it is difficult for novices to detect defective portions and it generally depends on individual work by experienced people such as professors. This research was aimed at developing a mechanism for extracting the defective portions in slides and providing them to students on the basis of hybrid analysis of two promising sources: (1) constitutive features being inherent in the slide data, and (2) audiences' visual tracking behaviors of slide content. Consequently, the new possibility of slide elaboration support by estimation of defective portions in slides using the familiar multiple sources was suggested.
