Abstract—Slide presentations have become a ubiquitous tool for business and educational purposes. Instead of starting from scratch, slide composers tend to make new presentation slides by browsing existing slides and reusing materials from them. In this paper, we investigate the problem of reused element detection in presentation slides. We develop respective techniques to identify both textual and visual elements that have been reused across multiple presentation files. Experiments are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
Index Terms—Slide element reuse, presentation slide management, slide browsing.
