% Edited from File: icml2022.sty (LaTeX style file for ICML-2022, version of 2022-11-23)
% Modified by Yu Pan 2/13/2022: changed icml2022 as a new template

% This file contains the LaTeX formatting parameters for a two-column
% conference proceedings that is 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches high.
%
% Modified by Csaba Szepesvari 2022: changed years, PMLR ref. Turned off checking marginparwidth
%     as marginparwidth only controls the space available for margin notes and margin notes
%     will NEVER be used anyways in submitted versions, so there is no reason one should
%     check whether marginparwidth has been tampered with.
%     Also removed pdfview=FitH from hypersetup as it did not do its job; the default choice is a bit better
%     but of course the double-column format is not supported by this hyperlink preview functionality
%     in a completely satisfactory fashion.
% Modified by Gang Niu 2022: Changed color to xcolor
%
% Modified by Iain Murray 2018: changed years, location. Remove affiliation notes when anonymous.
%     Move times dependency from .tex to .sty so fewer people delete it.
%
% Modified by Daniel Roy 2017: changed byline to use footnotes for affiliations, and removed emails
%
% Modified by Percy Liang 12/2/2013: changed the year, location from the previous template for ICML 2014

% Modified by Fei Sha 9/2/2013: changed the year, location form the previous template for ICML 2013
%
% Modified by Fei Sha 4/24/2013: (1) remove the extra whitespace after the first author's email address (in %the camera-ready version) (2) change the Proceeding ... of ICML 2010 to 2014 so PDF's metadata will show up % correctly
%
% Modified by Sanjoy Dasgupta, 2013: changed years, location
%
% Modified by Francesco Figari, 2012: changed years, location
%
% Modified by Christoph Sawade and Tobias Scheffer, 2011: added line
% numbers, changed years
%
% Modified by Hal Daume III, 2010: changed years, added hyperlinks
%
% Modified by Kiri Wagstaff, 2009: changed years
%
% Modified by Sam Roweis, 2008: changed years
%
% Modified by Ricardo Silva, 2007: update of the ifpdf verification
%
% Modified by Prasad Tadepalli and Andrew Moore, merely changing years.
%
% Modified by Kristian Kersting, 2005, based on Jennifer Dy's 2004 version
% - running title. If the original title is to long or is breaking a line,
%   use \icmltitlerunning{...} in the preamble to supply a shorter form.
%   Added fancyhdr package to get a running head.
% - Updated to store the page size because pdflatex does compile the
%   page size into the pdf.
%
% Hacked by Terran Lane, 2003:
% - Updated to use LaTeX2e style file conventions (ProvidesPackage,
%   etc.)
% - Added an ``appearing in'' block at the base of the first column
%   (thus keeping the ``appearing in'' note out of the bottom margin
%   where the printer should strip in the page numbers).
% - Added a package option [accepted] that selects between the ``Under
%   review'' notice (default, when no option is specified) and the
%   ``Appearing in'' notice (for use when the paper has been accepted
%   and will appear).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% This version of the style file supports both a ``review'' version
%% and a ``final/accepted'' version.  The difference is only in the
%% text that appears in the note at the bottom of the first column of
%% the first page.  The default behavior is to print a note to the
%% effect that the paper is under review and don't distribute it.  The
%% final/accepted version prints an ``Appearing in'' note.  To get the
%% latter behavior, in the calling file change the ``usepackage'' line
%% from:
%%	\usepackage{icml2022}
%% to
%%	\usepackage[accepted]{icml2022}

%% The following is adapted from code in the acmconf.sty conference
%% style file.  The constants in it are somewhat magical, and appear
%% to work well with the two-column format on US letter paper that
%% ICML uses, but will break if you change that layout, or if you use
%% a longer block of text for the copyright notice string.  Fiddle with
%% them if necessary to get the block to fit/look right.
