## Slide Layout Patterns

### Two-Column with Figure
```latex
\begin{frame}{Title}
\begin{columns}[T]
\column{0.45\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
    \item Point 1
    \item Point 2
    \item Point 3
\end{itemize}

\column{0.55\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figure.png}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
```

### Full-Width Figure with Caption
```latex
\begin{frame}{Method Overview}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.85\textwidth]{overview.png}
\end{center}
\vspace{-0.5em}
\small{Our method consists of three stages: encoding, processing, and decoding.}
\end{frame}
```

### Equation Highlight Box
```latex
\begin{frame}{Key Equation}
\begin{block}{Main Result}
\begin{equation}
f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{N} \alpha_i K(x, x_i)
\end{equation}
\end{block}

\textbf{Intuition:} The output is a weighted combination of kernel evaluations.
\end{frame}
```

### Before/After Comparison
