Story: These presentation tips are told by a top MIT prof to his undergraduate AI class as secrets to career success
In one of his lectures there he pointed out that research papers with a single good idea are more likely to succeed (be cited and discussed) than a paper with multiple good ideas. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this was the reason some of my personal projects failed to gain traction. It's a frustrating realization, but at least he has some concrete, easy to implement advice on how to overcome this issue.
His comments on the history of AI field are also very interesting.
