IEEE Conferences/Journals (LaTeX)

Venue-specific snapshot extracted from references/venues/catalog.md. Load this file directly when the user names IEEE as the target venue, instead of reading the full venue catalog.

Style

• Active voice for contributions
• Past tense for methods
• Present tense for results discussion

Format

• Two-column layout
• Abstract: single paragraph, up to 250 words (IEEE Author Center; no global "150-200" rule)
• Keywords: 3-5 terms
• IEEEtran is still v1.8b (2015); IEEE has not changed its template or font

Citations

• IEEE style: [1], [2-4]
• Full reference in bibliography

Figures/Tables

• Captions below figures
• Captions above tables
• Referenced in text before appearing

Pseudocode

• IEEEtran only recognizes figure and table as standard floats; do not assume a dedicated algorithm float is IEEE-safe.
• Prefer figure + algorithmicx / algpseudocodex for LaTeX pseudocode in IEEE submissions.
• Give the pseudocode block a normal figure caption and reference it in text before the figure appears.
• Prefer direct captions such as Adaptive inference procedure instead of The proposed algorithm....
• Explicit input/output markers and short inline comments are recommended defaults, not IEEE hard requirements.
