Venue-Specific Requirements for Typst Papers

Summary index. Each venue lives as its own snapshot under ../templates/; load templates/<venue>.md directly when the user names a specific venue (ieee, acm, neurips). This file remains the cross-venue overview (comparison table, common mistakes, pre-submission checklist, resubmission conversions, figure specs).

Template

#import "@preview/charged-ieee:0.1.4": ieee

#show: ieee.with(
  title: [Your Paper Title],
  authors: (...),
  abstract: [...],
  index-terms: ("Keyword1", "Keyword2"),
  bibliography: bibliography("refs.bib", style: "ieee"),
)

Pseudocode

• Prefer the algorithmic package for IEEE-like Typst pseudocode because it provides algorithm-figure, caption support, and conventional control-flow rendering.
• Treat lovelace as a flexible fallback when the user explicitly wants freer syntax.
• In IEEE-like output, wrap pseudocode in algorithm-figure(...) or #figure(...) with a caption.
• Line numbers are recommended for review convenience, but they are not enforced here as an IEEE hard rule.
• Keep comments short and move paragraph-level explanation back into the main text.

Resubmission Format Conversion

Common Conversion Paths

From → To	Page Change	Key Adjustments
NeurIPS → ICML	9 → 8	Cut 1 page, add Broader Impact
ICML → ICLR	8 → 9	Expand experiments, add LLM disclosure
NeurIPS → ACL	9 → 8	Restructure for NLP, add Limitations
ICLR → AAAI	9 → 7	Significant cuts, strict style

Content Migration Principles

1. Start fresh with target template — don't merge preambles
2. Copy content sections only (text, figures, tables, bibliography)
3. When cutting: move proofs to appendix, condense related work
4. When expanding: add ablations, expand limitations

Figure and Table Specifications

Tables (Typst)

// Professional table with booktabs-style rules
#table(
  columns: (auto, auto, auto),
  stroke: none,
  table.hline(),
  table.header(
    [*Method*], [*Accuracy ↑*], [*Latency ↓*],
  ),
  table.hline(stroke: 0.5pt),
  [Baseline], [85.2], [45ms],
  [*Ours*], [*92.1*], [38ms],
  table.hline(),
)

Figures

• Vector formats preferred (SVG for Typst)
• Colorblind-safe palettes: Okabe-Ito or Paul Tol
• Grayscale readability: Verify figures work without color
• Self-contained captions: Reader should understand without main text
