\section{Introduction}

\begin{frame}{Motivation}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item<1-> Why is this problem important?
    \item<2-> What gap does this work address?
    \item<3-> Our key contributions:
    \begin{itemize}
      \item Novel method for [X] with theoretical guarantees
      \item Empirical validation on [benchmark]
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\section{Method}

\begin{frame}{Problem Formulation}
  \begin{block}{Setup}
    Given input $\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^d$, we minimize the objective:
  \end{block}
  \[
    \mathcal{L}(\theta) = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \ell(f_\theta(\mathbf{x}_i), y_i)
    + \lambda \|\theta\|_2^2
  \]
  where $\lambda > 0$ controls regularisation.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Algorithm}
  \begin{columns}[T]
    \begin{column}{0.55\linewidth}
      \textbf{Key steps:}
      \begin{enumerate}
        \item Initialise $\theta_0$
        \item For each mini-batch $\mathcal{B}$:
        \[
          \theta_{t+1} = \theta_t - \alpha \nabla_{\mathcal{B}} \mathcal{L}(\theta_t)
        \]
        \item Evaluate on validation set
      \end{enumerate}
    \end{column}
    \begin{column}{0.40\linewidth}
      \begin{block}{Complexity}
        $O(n \log n)$ per epoch\\
        Memory: $O(d)$
      \end{block}
    \end{column}
  \end{columns}
\end{frame}
