The First Page
Center the title, author’s name(s) and affiliation(s) across both
columns. Do not use footnotes for affiliations. Do not include the
paper ID number assigned during the submission process. Use the
two-column format only when you begin the abstract.
Title: Place the title centered at the top of the first page, in
a 15-point bold font. (For a complete guide to font sizes and styles,
see Table \ref{font-table}) Long titles should be typed on two lines
without a blank line intervening. Approximately, put the title at 2.5
cm from the top of the page, followed by a blank line, then the
author’s names(s), and the affiliation on the following line. Do not
use only initials for given names (middle initials are allowed). Do
not format surnames in all capitals (e.g., use “Schlangen” not
“SCHLANGEN”). Do not format title and section headings in all
capitals as well except for proper names (such as “BLEU”) that are
conventionally in all capitals. The affiliation should contain the
author’s complete address, and if possible, an electronic mail
address. Start the body of the first page 7.5 cm from the top of the
page.
The title, author names and addresses should be completely identical
to those entered to the electronical paper submission website in order
to maintain the consistency of author information among all
publications of the conference. If they are different, the publication
chairs may resolve the difference without consulting with you; so it
is in your own interest to double-check that the information is
consistent.
Abstract: Type the abstract at the beginning of the first
column. The width of the abstract text should be smaller than the
width of the columns for the text in the body of the paper by about
0.6 cm on each side. Center the word Abstract in a 12 point bold
font above the body of the abstract. The abstract should be a concise
summary of the general thesis and conclusions of the paper. It should
be no longer than 200 words. The abstract text should be in 10 point font.
Text: Begin typing the main body of the text immediately after
the abstract, observing the two-column format as shown in
the present document. Do not include page numbers.
Indent when starting a new paragraph. Use 11 points for text and
subsection headings, 12 points for section headings and 15 points for
the title.
Sections
Headings: Type and label section and subsection headings in the
style shown on the present document. Use numbered sections (Arabic
numerals) in order to facilitate cross references. Number subsections
with the section number and the subsection number separated by a dot,
in Arabic numerals. Do not number subsubsections.
Citations: Citations within the text appear in parentheses
as \cite{Gusfield:97} or, if the author’s name appears in the text
itself, as Gusfield \shortciteGusfield:97. Append lowercase letters
to the year in cases of ambiguity. Treat double authors as
in \cite{Aho:72}, but write as in \cite{Chandra:81} when more than two
authors are involved. Collapse multiple citations as
in \cite{Gusfield:97,Aho:72}. Also refrain from using full citations
as sentence constituents. We suggest that instead of
“\cite{Gusfield:97} showed that …”
you use
“Gusfield \shortciteGusfield:97 showed that …”
If you are using the provided LaTeX and BibTeX style files, you
can use the command \newcite to get “author (year)” citations.
As reviewing will be double-blind, the submitted version of the papers
should not include the authors’ names and affiliations. Furthermore,
self-references that reveal the author’s identity, e.g.,
“We previously showed \cite{Gusfield:97} …”
should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as
“Gusfield \shortciteGusfield:97
previously showed … ”
Please do not use anonymous citations and do not include
acknowledgements when submitting your papers. Papers that do not
conform to these requirements may be rejected without review.
References : Gather the full set of references together under
the heading References; place the section before any Appendices,
unless they contain references. Arrange the references alphabetically
by first author, rather than by order of occurrence in the text.
Provide as complete a citation as possible, using a consistent format,
such as the one for Computational Linguistics or the one in the
Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association \cite{APA:83}. Use of full names for
authors rather than initials is preferred. A list of abbreviations
for common computer science journals can be found in the ACM
Computing Reviews \cite{ACM:83}.
The LaTeX and BibTeX style files provided roughly fit the
American Psychological Association format, allowing regular citations,
short citations and multiple citations as described above.
Appendices: Appendices, if any, directly follow the text and the
references (but see above). Letter them in sequence and provide an
informative title: Appendix A. Title of Appendix.
Footnotes
Footnotes: Put footnotes at the bottom of the page and use 9
points text. They may be numbered or referred to by asterisks or other
symbols.11This is how a footnote should appear. Footnotes
should be separated from the text by a line.22Note the line
separating the footnotes from the text.
Graphics
Illustrations: Place figures, tables, and photographs in the
paper near where they are first discussed, rather than at the end, if
possible. Wide illustrations may run across both columns. Color
illustrations are discouraged, unless you have verified that
they will be understandable when printed in black ink.
Captions: Provide a caption for every illustration; number each one
sequentially in the form: “Figure 1. Caption of the Figure.” “Table 1.
Caption of the Table.” Type the captions of the figures and
tables below the body, using 11 point text.
