Title should contain the name of the thing. People presenting their own work get a lot of leeway and there's nothing in this that approaches clickbait. Having to click on a thing to learn more about what it is is not in itself clickbait.

The name is the single more important fact about a thing. Omitting that is not acceptable in my opinion.
