\begin{abstract} 
The Abstract paragraph should be indented 0.25 inch (1.5 picas) on
both left-and right-hand margins.  Use 10-point type, with a vertical
spacing of 11~points.  {\bf Abstract} must be centered, bold, and in
point size 12. Two line spaces precede the Abstract. The Abstract must
be limited to one paragraph.
\end{abstract} 
 
\section{GENERAL FORMATTING INSTRUCTIONS} 
 
Papers are in 2 columns with the overall line width of 6.75~inches
(41~picas).  Each column is 3.25~inches wide (19.5~picas).  The space
between the columns is .25~inches wide (1.5~picas).  The left margin
is 1~inch (6~picas).  Use 10-point type with a vertical spacing of
11~points.  Times Roman is the preferred typeface throughout.
 
Paper title is 16~point, caps/lc, bold, centered between 2~horizontal
rules.  Top rule is 1-point thick and bottom rule is 1-point thick.
Allow 1/4-inch space above and below title to rules.
 
Authors' names are centered, initial caps.  The lead author's name is
to be listed first (left-most), and the co-authors' names (if
different address) are set to follow.  If only one co-author, center
both the author and co-author, side-by-side.  Include internet address
for each author.
 
Allow one-half line space between paragraphs, with no indent.

Note: if you use \LaTeX\ or troff, you can obtain the appropriate
macros via ftp.  Connect to csftp.vuse.vanderbilt.edu, login as anonymous with
your email account as password, and change directory (cd) to
pub/users/icml97/macros, where you will find the necessary files (ml97.sty and
ml97.tex for \LaTeX, and ml97.trf for troff). You may also obtain
these files via the WWW at
http://cswww.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/\verb+~+icml97/authors/.

 
\section{FIRST-LEVEL HEADINGS} 
 
First-level headings are all caps, flush left, bold and in point size
12.  Allow one line space before the first-level heading and 1/2-line
space after the first-level heading.
 
\subsection{SECOND-LEVEL HEADING} 
 
Second-level headings must be flush left, all caps, bold and in point
size 10.  Allow one line space before the second-level heading and
1/2-line space after the second-level heading.
 
\subsubsection{Third-Level Heading} 
 
Third-level headings must be flush left, initial caps, bold, and in
point size 10.  Allow one line space before the third-level heading
and 1/2-line space after the third-level heading.
 
\subsubsubsection{Fourth-Level Heading}
 
Fourth-level headings must be flush left, initial caps and Roman type.
Allow one line space before the fourth-level heading and 1/2-line
space after the fourth-level heading.
 
\subsection{CITATIONS, FIGURES, REFERENCES} 

 
\subsubsection{Citations in Text} 
 
Citations within the text should include the author's last name and 
year, e.g., (Smith, 1995). Reference style should follow the style 
that you are used to using, as long as the citation style is 
consistent. 
 
\subsubsection{Footnotes} 
 
Indicate footnotes with a superscript number\footnote{Sample of the
first footnote.} in the text. Use 8-point type for footnotes.  Place
the footnotes at the bottom of the page on which they appear.  Precede
the footnote with a 1/2-point horizontal rule 1-inch (6 picas)
long.\footnote{Sample of the second footnote}
 
\subsubsection{Figures}  
 
All artwork must be centered, neat, clean, and legible.  Avoid
screens and pattern-fills. All lines should be very dark, not screened
and at least 1/2 point thickness, for purposes of reproduction. Artwork 
should not be hand-drawn.  Figure number and caption always appear below the
figure.  Leave 2 line spaces between the figure and the caption. The
figure caption is caps/lc and each figure is numbered consecutively.
 
Make sure that the figure caption does not get separated from the
figure. Leave extra white space at the bottom of the page rather than
splitting the figure and figure caption.

If the figure is wide enough to span both columns, place the figure at
the top of bottom of the page (not in the middle).  Photos should {\em
not} be affixed to the page.  Leave adequate space for the figure and
provide the photo separately in an envelope clipped to the page on
which it should be placed.  Be sure it is labeled (in pencil on the
back) with author's name and figure number.

\subsubsection{Tables} 
 
All tables must be centered, neat, clean, and legible. Do not use
hand-drawn tables. Table number and title always appear above the
table.  See Table~\ref{sample-table}.
 
Allow one line space before the table title, one line space after the
table title, and one line space after the table. The table title must
be caps/lc and each table numbered consecutively.

\end{tabular} 
\end{center} 
\end{table} 
 

\subsubsection{Identification}  
 
Make certain that your name is written in pencil on the back of every
page of your masters, and number pages sequentially. This information
is for identification only. Final page numbers will be assigned by the
publisher. If you have preferred wording for the abbreviation of a
long title for the runninghead, please include this when you send your
paper.
 
\subsubsection*{Acknowledgements} 
 
Use an unnumbered third-level heading for the acknowledgements.  All
acknowledgements go at the end of the paper, just before the
references.
 
 
\subsubsection*{References} 
 
References follow the acknowledgements.  Use an unnumbered third-level 
heading for the references.  APA citation style is preferred, but any
choice of citation style is acceptable as long as you are consistent.
