Build Status

For the frequent attendants of top-tier AI conferences!

This repository includes templates and makefiles for:

  • AAAI style
  • ECAI style
  • IJCAI style
  • JAIR style
  • NIPS style
  • ICML style
  • ICLR style
  • CVPR style

Requirements: GNU Make, TexLive, inkscape, perl (see dependency.sh)

Several notes:

  • Why the file is named asai.tex?: Because the camera-ready submission requires that you need to name the latex source file in your last name. Asai is my last name...

  • It encourages the use of Inkskape to prepare svg images in img subdirectory, which are automatically compiled into pdf figures. (This is a recommended way, since pngs are bitmaps and doesnt print nicely.)

    On OSX, inkscape is available from brew install inkscape

  • One thing that bugs me every time my paper is accepted to these conferences is how to prepare the camera-ready submission archive, which does not allow the use of \\input{} command. This repo also has a complete automated script for doing this, via make submission. There are a few things that should be kept in mind while using this:

    • all \\input{} commands must be at the beginning of line, nothing before or after it. Otherwise it may remove some necessary text

  • make auto watches the source files and builds the pdf when they are updated. Requirements: inotify-tools package (it uses inotifywait for watching files and also sends messages via inotify notification popup window)

  • It also checks for the paper length limit and overful/underful hboxes, very useful in the last-limit optimization for overlength papers.

  • This template also supports JSAI, a local Japanese non-refereed confernece.
