- % The \author macro works with any number of authors. There are two commands
- % used to separate the names and addresses of multiple authors: \And and \AND.
- %
- % Using \And between authors leaves it to LaTeX to determine where to break the
- % lines. Using \AND forces a line break at that point. So, if LaTeX puts 3 of 4
- % authors names on the first line, and the last on the second line, try using
- % \AND instead of \And before the third author name.

-
- \maketitle
-
- \begin{abstract}
- The abstract paragraph should be indented \nicefrac{1}{2}~inch (3~picas) on
- both the left- and right-hand margins. Use 10~point type, with a vertical
- spacing (leading) of 11~points. The word \textbf{Abstract} must be centered,
- bold, and in point size 12. Two line spaces precede the abstract. The abstract
- must be limited to one paragraph.
- \end{abstract}
-
- \section{Submission of papers to NeurIPS 2021}
-
- Please read the instructions below carefully and follow them faithfully.
-
- \subsection{Style}
-
- Papers to be submitted to NeurIPS 2021 must be prepared according to the
- instructions presented here. Papers may only be up to {\bf nine} pages long,
- including figures. Additional pages \emph{containing only acknowledgments and
- references} are allowed. Papers that exceed the page limit will not be
- reviewed, or in any other way considered for presentation at the conference.
-
- The margins in 2021 are the same as those in 2007, which allow for $\sim$$15\%$
- more words in the paper compared to earlier years.
-
- Authors are required to use the NeurIPS \LaTeX{} style files obtainable at the
- NeurIPS website as indicated below. Please make sure you use the current files
- and not previous versions. Tweaking the style files may be grounds for
- rejection.
-
- \subsection{Retrieval of style files}
-
- The style files for NeurIPS and other conference information are available on
- the World Wide Web at
- \begin{center}
- \url{http://www.neurips.cc/}
- \end{center}
- The file \verb+neurips_2021.pdf+ contains these instructions and illustrates the
- various formatting requirements your NeurIPS paper must satisfy.
-
- The only supported style file for NeurIPS 2021 is \verb+neurips_2021.sty+,
- rewritten for \LaTeXe{}. \textbf{Previous style files for \LaTeX{} 2.09,
- Microsoft Word, and RTF are no longer supported!}
-
- The \LaTeX{} style file contains three optional arguments: \verb+final+, which
- creates a camera-ready copy, \verb+preprint+, which creates a preprint for
- submission to, e.g., arXiv, and \verb+nonatbib+, which will not load the
- \verb+natbib+ package for you in case of package clash.
-
- \paragraph{Preprint option}
- If you wish to post a preprint of your work online, e.g., on arXiv, using the
- NeurIPS style, please use the \verb+preprint+ option. This will create a
- nonanonymized version of your work with the text ``Preprint. Work in progress.''
- in the footer. This version may be distributed as you see fit. Please \textbf{do
- not} use the \verb+final+ option, which should \textbf{only} be used for
- papers accepted to NeurIPS.
-
- At submission time, please omit the \verb+final+ and \verb+preprint+
- options. This will anonymize your submission and add line numbers to aid
- review. Please do \emph{not} refer to these line numbers in your paper as they
- will be removed during generation of camera-ready copies.
-
- The file \verb+neurips_2021.tex+ may be used as a ``shell'' for writing your
- paper. All you have to do is replace the author, title, abstract, and text of
- the paper with your own.
-
- The formatting instructions contained in these style files are summarized in
- Sections \ref{gen_inst}, \ref{headings}, and \ref{others} below.
-
- \section{General formatting instructions}
- \label{gen_inst}
-
- The text must be confined within a rectangle 5.5~inches (33~picas) wide and
- 9~inches (54~picas) long. The left margin is 1.5~inch (9~picas). Use 10~point
- type with a vertical spacing (leading) of 11~points. Times New Roman is the
- preferred typeface throughout, and will be selected for you by default.
- Paragraphs are separated by \nicefrac{1}{2}~line space (5.5 points), with no
- indentation.
-
- The paper title should be 17~point, initial caps/lower case, bold, centered
- between two horizontal rules. The top rule should be 4~points thick and the
- bottom rule should be 1~point thick. Allow \nicefrac{1}{4}~inch space above and
- below the title to rules. All pages should start at 1~inch (6~picas) from the
- top of the page.
-
- For the final version, authors' names are set in boldface, and each name is
- centered above the corresponding address. The lead author's name is to be listed
- first (left-most), and the co-authors' names (if different address) are set to
- follow. If there is only one co-author, list both author and co-author side by
- side.
-
- Please pay special attention to the instructions in Section \ref{others}
- regarding figures, tables, acknowledgments, and references.
-
- \section{Headings: first level}
- \label{headings}
-
- All headings should be lower case (except for first word and proper nouns),
- flush left, and bold.
-
- First-level headings should be in 12-point type.
-
- \subsection{Headings: second level}
-
- Second-level headings should be in 10-point type.
-
- \subsubsection{Headings: third level}
-
- Third-level headings should be in 10-point type.
-
- \paragraph{Paragraphs}
-
- There is also a \verb+\paragraph+ command available, which sets the heading in
- bold, flush left, and inline with the text, with the heading followed by 1\,em
- of space.
-
- \section{Citations, figures, tables, references}
- \label{others}
-
- These instructions apply to everyone.
-
- \subsection{Citations within the text}
-
- The \verb+natbib+ package will be loaded for you by default. Citations may be
- author/year or numeric, as long as you maintain internal consistency. As to the
- format of the references themselves, any style is acceptable as long as it is
- used consistently.
-
- The documentation for \verb+natbib+ may be found at
- \begin{center}
- \url{http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natnotes.pdf}
- \end{center}
- Of note is the command \verb+\citet+, which produces citations appropriate for
- use in inline text. For example,
- \begin{verbatim}
- \citet{hasselmo} investigated\dots
- \end{verbatim}
- produces
- \begin{quote}
- Hasselmo, et al.\ (1995) investigated\dots
- \end{quote}
-
- If you wish to load the \verb+natbib+ package with options, you may add the
- following before loading the \verb+neurips_2021+ package:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \PassOptionsToPackage{options}{natbib}
- \end{verbatim}
-
- If \verb+natbib+ clashes with another package you load, you can add the optional
- argument \verb+nonatbib+ when loading the style file:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \usepackage[nonatbib]{neurips_2021}
- \end{verbatim}
-
- As submission is double blind, refer to your own published work in the third
- person. That is, use ``In the previous work of Jones et al.\ [4],'' not ``In our
- previous work [4].'' If you cite your other papers that are not widely available
- (e.g., a journal paper under review), use anonymous author names in the
- citation, e.g., an author of the form ``A.\ Anonymous.''
-
- \subsection{Footnotes}
-
- Footnotes should be used sparingly. If you do require a footnote, indicate
- footnotes with a number\footnote{Sample of the first footnote.} in the
- text. Place the footnotes at the bottom of the page on which they appear.
- Precede the footnote with a horizontal rule of 2~inches (12~picas).
-
- Note that footnotes are properly typeset \emph{after} punctuation
- marks.\footnote{As in this example.}
-
- \subsection{Figures}
-
- \begin{figure}
- \centering
- \fbox{\rule[-.5cm]{0cm}{4cm} \rule[-.5cm]{4cm}{0cm}}
- \caption{Sample figure caption.}
- \end{figure}
-
- All artwork must be neat, clean, and legible. Lines should be dark enough for
- purposes of reproduction. The figure number and caption always appear after the
- figure. Place one line space before the figure caption and one line space after
- the figure. The figure caption should be lower case (except for first word and
- proper nouns); figures are numbered consecutively.
-
- You may use color figures. However, it is best for the figure captions and the
- paper body to be legible if the paper is printed in either black/white or in
- color.
-
- \subsection{Tables}
-
- All tables must be centered, neat, clean and legible. The table number and
- title always appear before the table. See Table~\ref{sample-table}.
-
- Place one line space before the table title, one line space after the
- table title, and one line space after the table. The table title must
- be lower case (except for first word and proper nouns); tables are
- numbered consecutively.
-
- Note that publication-quality tables \emph{do not contain vertical rules.} We
- strongly suggest the use of the \verb+booktabs+ package, which allows for
- typesetting high-quality, professional tables:
- \begin{center}
- \url{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/booktabs}
- \end{center}
- This package was used to typeset Table~\ref{sample-table}.
-
- \begin{table}
- \caption{Sample table title}
- \label{sample-table}
- \centering
- \begin{tabular}{lll}
- \toprule
- \multicolumn{2}{c}{Part} \\
- \cmidrule(r){1-2}
- Name & Description & Size ($\mu$m) \\
- \midrule
- Dendrite & Input terminal & $\sim$100 \\
- Axon & Output terminal & $\sim$10 \\
- Soma & Cell body & up to $10^6$ \\
- \bottomrule
- \end{tabular}
- \end{table}
-
- \section{Final instructions}
-
- Do not change any aspects of the formatting parameters in the style files. In
- particular, do not modify the width or length of the rectangle the text should
- fit into, and do not change font sizes (except perhaps in the
- \textbf{References} section; see below). Please note that pages should be
- numbered.
-
- \section{Preparing PDF files}
-
- Please prepare submission files with paper size ``US Letter,'' and not, for
- example, ``A4.''
-
- Fonts were the main cause of problems in the past years. Your PDF file must only
- contain Type 1 or Embedded TrueType fonts. Here are a few instructions to
- achieve this.
-
- \begin{itemize}
-
- \item You should directly generate PDF files using \verb+pdflatex+.
-
- \item You can check which fonts a PDF files uses. In Acrobat Reader, select the
- menu Files$>$Document Properties$>$Fonts and select Show All Fonts. You can
- also use the program \verb+pdffonts+ which comes with \verb+xpdf+ and is
- available out-of-the-box on most Linux machines.
-
- \item The IEEE has recommendations for generating PDF files whose fonts are also
- acceptable for NeurIPS. Please see
- \url{http://www.emfield.org/icuwb2010/downloads/IEEE-PDF-SpecV32.pdf}
-
- \item \verb+xfig+ "patterned" shapes are implemented with bitmap fonts. Use
- "solid" shapes instead.
-
- \item The \verb+\bbold+ package almost always uses bitmap fonts. You should use
- the equivalent AMS Fonts:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \usepackage{amsfonts}
- \end{verbatim}
- followed by, e.g., \verb+\mathbb{R}+, \verb+\mathbb{N}+, or \verb+\mathbb{C}+
- for $\mathbb{R}$, $\mathbb{N}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. You can also use the following
- workaround for reals, natural and complex:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \newcommand{\RR}{I\!\!R} %real numbers
- \newcommand{\Nat}{I\!\!N} %natural numbers
- \newcommand{\CC}{I\!\!\!\!C} %complex numbers
- \end{verbatim}
- Note that \verb+amsfonts+ is automatically loaded by the \verb+amssymb+ package.
-
- \end{itemize}
-
- If your file contains type 3 fonts or non embedded TrueType fonts, we will ask
- you to fix it.
-
- \subsection{Margins in \LaTeX{}}
-
- Most of the margin problems come from figures positioned by hand using
- \verb+\special+ or other commands. We suggest using the command
- \verb+\includegraphics+ from the \verb+graphicx+ package. Always specify the
- figure width as a multiple of the line width as in the example below:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} ...
- \includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{myfile.pdf}
- \end{verbatim}
- See Section 4.4 in the graphics bundle documentation
- (\url{http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/graphics/grfguide.pdf})
-
- A number of width problems arise when \LaTeX{} cannot properly hyphenate a
- line. Please give LaTeX hyphenation hints using the \verb+\-+ command when
- necessary.
-
- \begin{ack}
- Use unnumbered first level headings for the acknowledgments. All acknowledgments
- go at the end of the paper before the list of references. Moreover, you are required to declare
- funding (financial activities supporting the submitted work) and competing interests (related financial activities outside the submitted work).
- More information about this disclosure can be found at: \url{https://neurips.cc/Conferences/2021/PaperInformation/FundingDisclosure}.
-
- Do {\bf not} include this section in the anonymized submission, only in the final paper. You can use the \texttt{ack} environment provided in the style file to autmoatically hide this section in the anonymized submission.
- \end{ack}
-
- \section*{References}
-
- References follow the acknowledgments. Use unnumbered first-level heading for
- the references. Any choice of citation style is acceptable as long as you are
- consistent. It is permissible to reduce the font size to \verb+small+ (9 point)
- when listing the references.
- Note that the Reference section does not count towards the page limit.
