LaTeX paper format for the NeurIPS 2019

This is an example of a paper in LaTeX for the conference NeurIPS 2019, but it could be also useful for future editions of a such conference.

Be careful, revision process is double blinded, so, at submittion you shoud omit the author names.

I didn't use natbib because it produces some conflicts with other packages.

Modifications of the original format

I modified the next in order to have a better visualization but using the format and instructions given by NerurIPS committee.

Modification 1.

Replace :

\usepackage[final]{neurips_2019}

with:

\usepackage[nonatbib, final]{neurips_2019}

Modification 2.

Add the package:

\usepackage{cite}

Modification 3.

In order to add multiple authors in a better visualization, I used:

\author{
  \textbf{AuthorName AuthorSurname $^1$, AuthorName AuthorSurname $^1$} \\ 
  \textbf{AuthorName AuthorSurname $^1$ $^2$, AuthorName AuthorSurname $^2$}
  \\
  $^1$ Deppartament1, University1, Country1 \\ 
  $^2$ Deppartament2, University2, Country2 \\
  \texttt{\{email1, email2, email3\}@affiliation.edu} 
  \\
  \texttt{email4@affiliation.edu} 
}

Modification 4.

Cite the papers using \cite{reference-name}, example:

... we used the Caffe framework \cite{reference1}.

Modification 5.

I added the next packages in order to have a better manage of the images.

\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}

Modification 6.

Replace all the References section (included the subtitle) with:

\bibliography{references}{}
\bibliographystyle{plain}

Compiling

Compile step by step as follows:

Step 1. Compite with PDFLaTeX

Step 2. Compile with BibTeX

Step 3. Compile with PDFLaTeX

Step 4. Compile with PDFLaTeX

Optional: Submiting to ArXiV

Be careful when you submit your paper to ArXiV.

Submit the main LaTeX files in a .tag compressed file. In my case, such main files are: paper_neurips.tex, neurips_2019.sty, images (folder), paper_neurips.bbl (generated from the references.bib at Step 2 of compiling).
