\section{Submission of conference papers to ICLR 2026}
|
|
|
|
ICLR requires electronic submissions, processed by
|
|
\url{https://openreview.net/}. See ICLR's website for more instructions.
|
|
|
|
If your paper is ultimately accepted, the statement {\tt
|
|
{\textbackslash}iclrfinalcopy} should be inserted to adjust the
|
|
format to the camera ready requirements.
|
|
|
|
The format for the submissions is a variant of the NeurIPS format.
|
|
Please read carefully the instructions below, and follow them
|
|
faithfully.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Style}
|
|
|
|
Papers to be submitted to ICLR 2026 must be prepared according to the
|
|
instructions presented here.
|
|
|
|
%% Please note that we have introduced automatic line number generation
|
|
%% into the style file for \LaTeXe. This is to help reviewers
|
|
%% refer to specific lines of the paper when they make their comments. Please do
|
|
%% NOT refer to these line numbers in your paper as they will be removed from the
|
|
%% style file for the final version of accepted papers.
|
|
|
|
Authors are required to use the ICLR \LaTeX{} style files obtainable at the
|
|
ICLR website. 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 ICLR and other conference information are available online at:
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\url{http://www.iclr.cc/}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
The file \verb+iclr2026_conference.pdf+ contains these
|
|
instructions and illustrates the
|
|
various formatting requirements your ICLR paper must satisfy.
|
|
Submissions must be made using \LaTeX{} and the style files
|
|
\verb+iclr2026_conference.sty+ and \verb+iclr2026_conference.bst+ (to be used with \LaTeX{}2e). The file
|
|
\verb+iclr2026_conference.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 of 11~points. Times New Roman is the
|
|
preferred typeface throughout. Paragraphs are separated by 1/2~line space,
|
|
with no indentation.
|
|
|
|
Paper title is 17~point, in small caps and left-aligned.
|
|
All pages should start at 1~inch (6~picas) from the top of the page.
|
|
|
|
Authors' names are
|
|
set in boldface, and each name is placed above its corresponding
|
|
address. The lead author's name is to be listed first, and
|
|
the co-authors' names are set to follow. Authors sharing the
|
|
same address can be on the same line.
|
|
|
|
Please pay special attention to the instructions in section \ref{others}
|
|
regarding figures, tables, acknowledgments, and references.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There will be a strict upper limit of \textbf{9 pages} for the main text of the initial submission, with unlimited additional pages for citations. This limit will be expanded to \textbf{10 pages} for rebuttal/camera ready.
|
|
|
|
\section{Headings: first level}
|
|
\label{headings}
|
|
|
|
First level headings are in small caps,
|
|
flush left and in point size 12. One line space before the first level
|
|
heading and 1/2~line space after the first level heading.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Headings: second level}
|
|
|
|
Second level headings are in small caps,
|
|
flush left and in point size 10. One line space before the second level
|
|
heading and 1/2~line space after the second level heading.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Headings: third level}
|
|
|
|
Third level headings are in small caps,
|
|
flush left and in point size 10. One line space before the third level
|
|
heading and 1/2~line space after the third level heading.
|
|
|
|
\section{Citations, figures, tables, references}
|
|
\label{others}
|
|
|
|
These instructions apply to everyone, regardless of the formatter being used.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Citations within the text}
|
|
|
|
Citations within the text should be based on the \texttt{natbib} package
|
|
and include the authors' last names and year (with the ``et~al.'' construct
|
|
for more than two authors). When the authors or the publication are
|
|
included in the sentence, the citation should not be in parenthesis using \verb|\citet{}| (as
|
|
in ``See \citet{Hinton06} for more information.''). Otherwise, the citation
|
|
should be in parenthesis using \verb|\citep{}| (as in ``Deep learning shows promise to make progress
|
|
towards AI~\citep{Bengio+chapter2007}.'').
|
|
|
|
The corresponding references are to be listed in alphabetical order of
|
|
authors, in the \textsc{References} section. As to the format of the
|
|
references themselves, any style is acceptable as long as it is used
|
|
consistently.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Footnotes}
|
|
|
|
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).\footnote{Sample of the second footnote}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Figures}
|
|
|
|
All artwork must be neat, clean, and legible. Lines should be dark
|
|
enough for purposes of reproduction; art work should not be
|
|
hand-drawn. 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 is lower case (except for
|
|
first word and proper nouns); figures are numbered consecutively.
|
|
|
|
Make sure the figure caption does not get separated from the figure.
|
|
Leave sufficient space to avoid splitting the figure and figure caption.
|
|
|
|
You may use color figures.
|
|
However, it is best for the
|
|
figure captions and the paper body to make sense if the paper is printed
|
|
either in black/white or in color.
|
|
\begin{figure}[h]
|
|
\begin{center}

|

|
|
\end{center}
|
|
\caption{Sample figure caption.}
|
|
\end{figure}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Tables}
|
|
|
|
All tables must be centered, neat, clean and legible. Do not use hand-drawn
|
|
tables. 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.
|
|
|
|

\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
|
|
\textsc{References} section; see below). Please note that pages should be
|
|
numbered.
|
|
|
|
\section{Preparing PostScript or PDF files}
|
|
|
|
Please prepare PostScript or PDF files with paper size ``US Letter'', and
|
|
not, for example, ``A4''. The -t
|
|
letter option on dvips will produce US Letter files.
|
|
|
|
Consider directly generating PDF files using \verb+pdflatex+
|
|
(especially if you are a MiKTeX user).
|
|
PDF figures must be substituted for EPS figures, however.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, please generate your PostScript and PDF files with the following commands:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
dvips mypaper.dvi -t letter -Ppdf -G0 -o mypaper.ps
|
|
ps2pdf mypaper.ps mypaper.pdf
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\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 graphicx package. Always specify the figure width as a multiple of
|
|
the line width as in the example below using .eps graphics
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx} ...
|
|
\includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{myfile.eps}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
or % Apr 2009 addition
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} ...
|
|
\includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{myfile.pdf}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
for .pdf graphics.
|
|
See section~4.4 in the graphics bundle documentation (\url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/graphics/grfguide.ps})
|
|
|
|
A number of width problems arise when LaTeX cannot properly hyphenate a
|
|
line. Please give LaTeX hyphenation hints using the \verb+\-+ command.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Author Contributions}
|
|
If you'd like to, you may include a section for author contributions as is done
|
|
in many journals. This is optional and at the discretion of the authors.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Acknowledgments}
|
|
Use unnumbered third level headings for the acknowledgments. All
|
|
acknowledgments, including those to funding agencies, go at the end of the paper.
