Developing well-designed presentation slides is challenging for many people, especially novices. The ability to build high quality slideshows is becoming more important in society. In this study, a neural network was used to identify novice vs. well-designed presentation slides based on visual and structural features. For such a purpose, a dataset containing 1,080 slide pairs was newly constructed. One of each pair was created by a novice, and the other was the improved one by the same person according to the experts' advice. Ten checkpoints frequently pointed out by professional consultants were extracted and set as prediction targets. The intrinsic problem was that the label distribution was imbalanced, because only a part of the samples had corresponding design problems. Therefore, re-sampling methods for addressing class imbalance were applied to improve the accuracy of the proposed model. Furthermore, we combined the target task with an assistant task for transfer and multi-task learning, which helped the proposed model achieve better performance. After the optimal settings were used for each checkpoint, the average accuracy of the proposed model rose up to 81.79%. With the advice provided by our assessment system, the novices significantly improved their slide design.
