Cognitive slide management method and system

A method for managing presentations, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a presentation manager in a drafting mode in a computer system, a user input defining content for a new presentation;
• creating, by the presentation manager in the drafting mode in the computer system, a slide for the new presentation using the user input, a presentation knowledgebase of presentations, and a presentation style profile defining a presentation style for a user;
• defining, by the presentation manager in the drafting mode in the computer system, a context for the slide, wherein the context aids in conveying a meaning intended by the user for the content;
• placing, by the presentation manager in the drafting mode in the computer system, the slide in the new presentation;
• identifying, by the presentation manager in a presenting mode, a speaker speaking during presenting of the new presentation;
• responsive to the speaker being a presenter of the new presentation, identifying, by the presentation manager in the presenting mode, a selected slide from the new presentation based on a set of selection parameters identified from the presenter speaking;
• and
• displaying, by the presentation manager in the presenting mode, the selected slide.

• placing, by the presentation manager in the drafting mode in the computer system, the slide in the new presentation;
• identifying, by the presentation manager in a presenting mode, a speaker speaking during presenting of the new presentation;
• responsive to the speaker being a secondary speaker in an audience, identifying, by the presentation manager in the presenting mode, a selected slide based on a set of selection parameters identified from the secondary speaker speaking;
• and
• generating an alert, by the presentation manager in the presenting mode, about the selected slide, wherein the selected slide is from one of the new presentation and the presentation knowledgebase.

A cognitive presentation system comprising:

• a computer system;
• and
• a presentation manager running on the computer system in a drafting mode that receives a user input defining content for a new presentation;
• creates a slide for the new presentation using the user input using a presentation knowledgebase and a presentation style profile defines a presentation style for the user;
• defines a context for the slide, wherein the context aids in conveying a meaning intended by a user for the content;
• and places the slide in the new presentation, wherein the presentation manager in a mode drafting identifies previously-created presentations by the user;
• receives responses to questions about the presentation style for the user;
• and creates the presentation style profile for the user based on the previously-created presentations by the user and the responses to the questions about the presentation style for the user;
• identifies the content in slides in the presentations;
• and maps presentation styles in the slides to the content identified to form the presentation knowledgebase.

• and responsive to the speaker being a secondary speaker in an audience, identifies the selected slide based on the set of selection parameters identified from the secondary speaker speaking, and generates an alert about the selected slide, wherein the selected slide is from one of the new presentation and the presentation knowledgebase.

A computer program product for managing presentations, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage media;
• first program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for receiving a user input defining content for a new presentation;
• second program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for creating a slide for the new presentation using the user input, a presentation knowledgebase, and a presentation style profile defining a presentation style for a user;
• third program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for defining a context for the slide, wherein the context aids in conveying a meaning intended by the user for the content;
• fourth program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for placing the slide in the new presentation;
• fifth program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for identifying previously-created presentations by the user;
• and
• sixth program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for receiving responses to questions about the presentation style for the user;
• and creates the presentation style profile for the user based on the previously-created presentations by the user and the response to the questions about the presentation style for the user.
