This directory contains official LaTeX templates for major machine learning and AI conferences.
---
## Compiling LaTeX to PDF
### Option 1: VS Code with LaTeX Workshop (Recommended)
**Setup:**
1. Install [TeX Live](https://www.tug.org/texlive/) (full distribution recommended)
- macOS: `brew install --cask mactex`
- Ubuntu: `sudo apt install texlive-full`
- Windows: Download from [tug.org/texlive](https://www.tug.org/texlive/)
2. Install VS Code extension: **LaTeX Workshop** by James Yu
- Open VS Code → Extensions (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+X) → Search "LaTeX Workshop" → Install
**Usage:**
- Open any `.tex` file in VS Code
- Save the file (Cmd/Ctrl+S) → Auto-compiles to PDF
- Click the green play button or use `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+B` to build
- View PDF: Click "View LaTeX PDF" icon or `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+V`
- Side-by-side view: `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+V` then drag tab
**Settings** (add to VS Code `settings.json`):
```json
{
"latex-workshop.latex.autoBuild.run": "onSave",
"latex-workshop.view.pdf.viewer": "tab",
"latex-workshop.latex.recipes": [
{
"name": "pdflatex → bibtex → pdflatex × 2",
"tools": ["pdflatex", "bibtex", "pdflatex", "pdflatex"]
}
]
}
```
### Option 2: Command Line
```bash
# Basic compilation
pdflatex main.tex
# With bibliography (full workflow)
pdflatex main.tex
bibtex main
pdflatex main.tex
pdflatex main.tex
# Using latexmk (handles dependencies automatically)
latexmk -pdf main.tex
# Continuous compilation (watches for changes)
latexmk -pdf -pvc main.tex
```
### Option 3: Overleaf (Online)
1. Go to [overleaf.com](https://www.overleaf.com)
2. New Project → Upload Project → Upload the template folder as ZIP
3. Edit online with real-time PDF preview
4. No local installation needed
### Option 4: Other IDEs
| IDE | Extension/Plugin | Notes |
|-----|------------------|-------|
| **Cursor** | LaTeX Workshop | Same as VS Code |
| **Sublime Text** | LaTeXTools | Popular, well-maintained |
| **Vim/Neovim** | VimTeX | Powerful, keyboard-driven |
| **Emacs** | AUCTeX | Comprehensive LaTeX environment |
| **TeXstudio** | Built-in | Dedicated LaTeX IDE |
| **Texmaker** | Built-in | Cross-platform LaTeX editor |
### Troubleshooting Compilation
**"File not found" errors:**
```bash
# Ensure you're in the template directory
cd templates/icml2026
pdflatex example_paper.tex
```
**Bibliography not appearing:**
```bash
# Run bibtex after first pdflatex
pdflatex main.tex
bibtex main # Uses main.aux to find citations
pdflatex main.tex # Incorporates bibliography
pdflatex main.tex # Resolves references
```
**Missing packages:**
```bash
# TeX Live package manager
tlmgr install <package-name>
# Or install full distribution to avoid this
```
