This workspace is set up as a metropolis slide deck, a minimal modern beamer theme with Fira Sans, currently a short research-talk skeleton. Tell me what the talk is about, or paste your paper or notes, and I will draft the slides for you.

    \begin{frame}{Motivation}
      \begin{itemize}
        \item State the problem in one line the audience already cares about.
        \item Why existing approaches fall short.
        \item One sentence on what this talk shows.
      \end{itemize}

      \begin{alertblock}{Key question}
        Can we do X better by doing Y?
      \end{alertblock}
    \end{frame}
    
    \begin{frame}{Method}
      We minimize a regularized objective over parameters $\theta$:
      \begin{equation}
        \hat{\theta} = \arg\min_{\theta}\;
          \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} \ell\bigl(f_\theta(x_i), y_i\bigr)
          + \lambda \|\theta\|_2^2 .
      \end{equation}
      \begin{itemize}
        \item Step 1: describe the model $f_\theta$.
        \item Step 2: describe the training or estimation procedure.
        \item Step 3: note the one trick that makes it work.
      \end{itemize}

      One-sentence takeaway of the whole talk.

    \begin{frame}{Conclusion}
      \begin{itemize}
        \item Restate the contribution in one line.
        \item Main limitation and the obvious next step.
        \item Pointer to paper, code, or contact.
