"Dr." isn't as jarring as "Prof." (Tim may remember the wave of tittering after some student said "Professor Harper" during the ML Workshop panel), but it strikes me as superfluous—and a strange inversion of formality, since a talk is (at most) as formal as a paper, and no one uses titles in papers.

(Mrs. and Miss should be entirely unacceptable, period.)
