# `ppt/` — Presentation Materials

Source materials for the MSML641 final presentation.

| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| [`SLIDE_DECK.md`](SLIDE_DECK.md) | Slide-by-slide plan. 18 slides, ~10 minutes. Each slide entry has a visual instruction, a hard cap on on-slide text, and a short speaker-note paragraph. |
| [`FULL_WRITEUP.md`](FULL_WRITEUP.md) | Long-form narrative write-up of the project, organized to the MSML641 rubric (Problem · Approach · Data · Model and Method · Evaluation and Results · Discussion). Pull from this when a slide's speaker note needs more depth. |

## How to use these together

1. Build the deck slide-by-slide from `SLIDE_DECK.md`. Treat the on-slide text section as a hard cap; anything more lives in speaker notes.
2. Pull pre-built visual assets from the README (Mermaid architecture diagram, results tables) and from the `Visual Asset Checklist` at the end of `SLIDE_DECK.md`.
3. Record the talk reading from the speaker-note paragraphs. Total runtime is timed in the timing sheet at the end of `SLIDE_DECK.md` — comes in around 9:50.
4. If a slide needs more substance during recording, lift a paragraph from `FULL_WRITEUP.md` — section numbers there map directly to the rubric.

## Submission packet

Per MSML641 requirements, the deliverables submitted to ELMS are:

- The slide deck built from `SLIDE_DECK.md` (PPT or PDF).
- A 10-minute video recording of the presentation, uploaded to YouTube unlisted or Google Drive (preferred over direct ELMS upload).
- The public GitHub repository link: `https://github.com/MukulRay1603/Empath-RAG`.

These two markdown files are tracked in the public repository so graders who choose to read source materials can see the full narrative behind the deck.
