What icml2026.sty configures

  • Two-column layout with ICML-specific margins (8.5x11 letter, ~1.05in margins)
  • Times-style font for body text and matched math
  • Anonymous author block in submission mode (de-anonymized in [accepted] mode)
  • The \icmltitle, \icmlauthorlist, \icmlaffiliation macros for proper title block
  • Natbib-based citation style with author-year format
  • Section heading style and numbering

Submission mode vs accepted mode

Anonymous submission: \usepackage{icml2026} hides author names and affiliations. The title appears, but author info is replaced with placeholder text. This is required for ICML's double-blind review.

Accepted/camera-ready: \usepackage[accepted]{icml2026} reveals authors and affiliations and adds the published-paper title block formatting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I download icml2026.sty?

The official source is the ICML 2026 author kit on the icml.cc website (Calls → Author Information). TypeTeX bundles the latest icml2026.sty inside our ICML 2026 template — open the template and the .sty file is already on your project's path.

How do I use icml2026.sty in my paper?

Add \usepackage{icml2026} for the anonymous review version, or \usepackage[accepted]{icml2026} for the camera-ready (de-anonymized) version. Make sure icml2026.sty is in the same directory as your main.tex.

What does the [accepted] option do?

It switches the style file from anonymous review mode to camera-ready mode. Author names become visible, the title block changes to the published format, and the page header may include the conference name. Default is anonymous mode for double-blind submission.

What's the page limit set by icml2026.sty?

ICML enforces 8 content pages for the main paper, plus unlimited references. icml2026.sty configures the page geometry but does not hard-stop you at 8 pages — you have to monitor it manually. The TypeTeX template includes a live page counter to help.

Does icml2026.sty include a bibliography style?

Yes — it loads natbib with an ICML-specific .bst file that produces the (Author, Year) format common at ICML. Use \citep{key} for parenthetical and \citet{key} for inline citations.

Can I use icml2026.sty with Overleaf?

Yes. Drop icml2026.sty in the root of your Overleaf project alongside main.tex. Overleaf finds it automatically. The TypeTeX ICML template exports directly to Overleaf with the .sty already in place.

What's different between icml2026.sty and previous years?

Each year ICML updates the style file slightly — usually to bump the year in the page header, adjust the abstract format, or refine the bibliography style. The macro structure (\usepackage{icml2026}, the [accepted] flag, anonymous mode) stays consistent year to year.
