If you are the author of a paper that has been accepted to the Machine Learning Workshop, you may be intested in this additional information from Morgan Kaufman (the publisher). - Carl ========================================================= > 1) Should the first rule (above the title) really be two inches from > the top of the page. In the sample it is about 1.25 inches from the top. 1) It would be nice if the first rule above the title were two inches from the top, but if space is a problem it could be even just 1" from the top and that would not be a problem. > 2) The instructions say that the abstract should be indented 1/4 inch > or 3 picas, but 3 pices is 1/2 inch, not 1/4 inch. 2) Indent it 1/4". > 3) What is point size of footnotes? 3) I believe the point size of the footnotes is approximately 8 or 9 points. Either would be fine. > 4) What is the size of the bottom margin? 4) The bottom margin should be no less than 1/2". > 5) How big is the gap between columns? 5) The space between columns is either 2 picas or 1/4". Something closely approximating that would be fine. -- Carl Kadie -- kadie@cs.uiuc.edu -- University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

It seems that a some authors of accepted papers have not received format information. The gist of the format is: 4 pages, 2 columns, top margin 1 inch, bottom margin 1/2 inch, left margin .9 inches, right margin .875 inches, gap between columns 1/4 inch. Font is 10 point Times Roman. I received the "General Instructions" in a Fed Express envelope on Monday (April 1). It was sent from Northwestern. The papers are due in California before noon on the 19th. For the real "General Instructions" you may wish to contact Morgan Kaufmann. You may also want to ask for their LaTex and Troff sample files.
