Creating presentation slides is a critical but time-consuming task for data scientists. While researchers have proposed many AI techniques to lift data scientists' burden on data preparation and model selection, few have targeted the presentation creation task. Based on the needs identified from a formative study, this paper presents NB2Slides, an AI system that facilitates users to compose presentations of their data science work. NB2Slides uses deep learning methods as well as example-based prompts to generate slides from computational notebooks, and take users' input (e.g., audience background) to structure the slides. NB2Slides also provides an interactive visualization that links the slides with the notebook to help users further edit the slides. A follow-up user evaluation with 12 data scientists shows that participants believed NB2Slides can improve efficiency and reduces the complexity of creating slides. Yet, participants questioned the future of full automation and suggested a human-AI collaboration paradigm.

翻译：创建演示幻灯片对于数据科学家来说是一项关键但耗时的任务。研究人员提出了许多AI技术,以解除数据科学家对数据编制和模型选择的负担,但很少有人针对制作演示材料的任务提出。根据一项成型研究确定的需求,本文介绍了一个帮助用户编写数据科学工作演示的AI系统NB2Slides。NB2Slides使用深层次的学习方法以及基于实例的提示从计算笔记本中生成幻灯片,并采用用户的投入(例如观众背景)来构建幻灯片。NB2Slides还提供了一个互动的可视化工具,将幻灯片与笔记本连接起来,以帮助用户进一步编辑幻灯片。与12名数据科学家进行的后续用户评估表明,参与者相信NB2Slides可以提高效率,降低创建幻灯片的复杂性。然而,与会者质疑全面自动化的未来,并提出了人类-AI合作模式。
