Please ensure that your paper is properly formatted. If it does not satisfy the following requirements, it will not be included in the proceedings. We provide an online tool for superficial format checking. We run this on all papers, so you can save time by running it before you submit your camera ready version.

Please ensure that your paper, in addition to passing the above check, adheres to the following guidelines.

The paper has a maximum length of 8 pages.
The paper is in US letter format (not A4).
The paper has the correct margins (0.75 inches left, 1 inch right, top and bottom).
All fonts are embedded, and only Type-1 fonts are used.
The correct font sizes are used: 10 point Times for the paper body, 9 (\small) or 10 points for the bibliography, and 9 point for footnotes/captions.
Captions are placed correctly (below figures and above tables).
The paper does not contain page numbers.
References are complete, including page numbers for journal papers; journal and conference names are spelled out ("Proceedings of the International Conference on Machine Learning").
The "Preliminary work..." footnote on page 1 has been changed to "Appearing in...".
The vertical spacing between paragraphs, figures, and caption is not changed. No negative vertical spacesare used to squeeze elements together.
The title is capitalized correctly ("My Paper has a Capitalized Title").

Be sure to do a test print of your paper, checking page margins and legibility (line thickness, font size, etc.), prior to submission.

Submission Instructions

with the corresponding link on your submission ("Edit" in the Camera-Ready column). Please do not over-write the original submission. If you have already done so, you need to resubmit the camera-ready version. Please make sure the meta-data (i.e., author names, author order, title, abstract) of your submission are correct, since they will be used to generate the proceedings.

If you submitted supplementary material, note that it will not be published or archived. If you want to include it in a final version of the paper, you must put it on a web-site, or submit it to arXiv, and reference the site in the final version of paper.
