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：制作演示文稿是数据科学家一项关键但耗时的任务。尽管研究者已提出诸多AI技术用于减轻数据科学家在数据准备与模型选择上的负担，但针对演示文稿创建任务的研究仍相对匮乏。基于前期形成性研究的需求分析，本文提出NB2Slides系统——一个帮助用户完成数据科学工作汇报的AI系统。该系统采用深度学习方法与基于示例的提示技术，从计算笔记本中生成幻灯片，并根据用户输入（如听众背景）进行幻灯片结构化编排。NB2Slides还提供连接幻灯片与笔记本的交互式可视化功能，辅助用户进一步编辑幻灯片。随后对12位数据科学家的用户评估表明，参与者认为NB2Slides能提升幻灯片制作效率并降低复杂度。但参与者对完全自动化的前景提出质疑，建议采用人机协同的工作范式。
