Presentation slides have become a common addition to the teaching material. Emphasizing strong leading words in presentation slides can allow the audience to direct the eye to certain focal points instead of reading the entire slide, retaining the at
tention to the speaker during the presentation. Despite a large volume of studies on automatic slide generation, few studies have addressed the automation of design assistance during the creation process. Motivated by this demand, we study the problem of Emphasis Selection (ES) in presentation slides, i.e., choosing candidates for emphasis, by introducing a new dataset containing presentation slides with a wide variety of topics, each is annotated with emphasis words in a crowdsourced setting. We evaluate a range of state-of-the-art models on this novel dataset by organizing a shared task and inviting multiple researchers to model emphasis in this new domain. We present the main findings and compare the results of these models, and by examining the challenges of the dataset, we provide different analysis components.
We present some distinct asymptotic properties of solutions to Caputo fractional differential equations (FDEs). First, we show that the non-trivial solutions to a FDE can not converge to the fixed points faster than $t^{-alpha}$, where $alpha$ is the
order of the FDE. Then, we introduce the notion of Mittag-Leffler stability which is suitable for systems of fractional-order. Next, we use this notion to describe the asymptotical behavior of solutions to FDEs by two approaches: Lyapunovs first method and Lyapunovs second method. Finally, we give a discussion on the relation between Lipschitz condition, stability and speed of decay, separation of trajectories to scalar FDEs.
