3. Is the presentation clear and easy to understand?

1. Title

1. Does the title include the key words of the work?
2. Dose the title summarize the main contribution of the paper?
3. Can the title be more attractive?

2. Introduction

1. What is your research object and its background?
2. What are the representative methods?
3. What are the main challenges that hinder these methods? What is the potential impact if they are solved?
4. What is your solution?
