\section{Introduction}

Avoid long sentences.

\lipsum[2-4]

\section{Background}

Be visual \citet{ai} and use
\begin{itemize}
\item bullet
\item points
\item when useful.
\end{itemize}

You can use some equations, too:
\begin{equation}
    f(x) = \sum_{i = 0}^\infty \sin(i x).
    \label{summation}
\end{equation}
Remember to discuss them to connect them to the rest of the content
and reference Equation \eqref{summation}.

\section{Methodology}

Prefer diagrams.

\begin{figure}
\captionsetup{type=figure} % for sciposter
\setcounter{figure}{0} % for sciposter
\begin{center}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[]
      \matrix[row sep=0.5cm]{
      \node[elem] (n1) {A thing}; & & \node[elem] (n2) {Another thing}; \\
      & \node[elem] (n3) {A new thing}; & \\
      };
     \draw [line] (n1) -- (n2);
     \draw [line] (n1) -- (n3);
     \draw [line] (n2) -- (n3);
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\caption{Explain your notation.}
\label{diag}
\end{figure}

\lipsum[2]

You can also use {\em pseudocode}:

\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\State $x \leftarrow 0$
\For {$i \in [1,2,\ldots, n]$}
	\State $x \leftarrow x + i$
\EndFor
\If {$x < \beta$}
    \State $d \leftarrow \top$
\EndIf
\end{algorithmic} 

You can also throw in code if you want. Just make it small snippets
that have a clear purpose.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Python, caption=Cool beans]
import numpy as np
from numpy.random import uniform
X = uniform(size = (3, 5))
print(np.shape(X))
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Evaluation}

Again, prefer tables and figures over text.

\lipsum[3]

\begin{figure}
\setcounter{figure}{1} 
\captionsetup{type=figure} 
\begin{center}
% From https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/162648/how-to-draw-a-sinewave-in-tikz
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw (0,0) -- (12,0);
    \draw (0.2,1)node[left,font=\tiny] {$y=1$} -- (11.8,1);
    \draw (0.2,-1)node[left,font=\tiny] {$y=-1$} -- (11.8,-1); 
    \foreach \x in {0,0.5,...,12}{
      \draw (\x,-0.2)node [below,font=\tiny,] {\x} -- (\x,0.2) ;
    }
    \draw[ultra thick, red] (3,0) sin (4,1);  
  \end{tikzpicture}
  
\end{center}
\caption{Explain how to read it.}
\label{curvas}
\end{figure}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{table}
\setcounter{table}{0} 
\captionsetup{type=table} 
\caption{Explain the notation.}
\label{data}
\begin{center}
\scalebox{0.9}{\begin{tabular}{|r|c|l|}
    \hline
         \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\rotatebox{90}{\bf Value}}
         & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\rotatebox{90}{\bf Parameter}}
         & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\rotatebox{90}{\bf Description\phantom{m}}} \\
         \hline
         0.23 & $x$ & something \\
         \hline
         2.34 & $y$ & demonstration \\
        \hline
    \end{tabular}}
\end{center}
\end{table}
