Paper writing from zero
Preliminary
I) Choose your writing tools
Generally, we use either Latex or Word for paper writing, as these are the only two standards currently supported in the toolkit by mainstream conferences (specific examples will be provided later).
⚠️ We highly recommend using Latex as main writing tool, it's very convenient and there are many templates available! For the later demonstrations, we build them with Latex.
II) Prepare your paper template
1. Preprint/Arxiv Style Template
As described in our previous introduction, Overleaf is an excellent online Latex editing platform, it also offers diverse paper templates.
You can directly open those as template in your overleaf.
2. Conference Style Template
In here, we use the author kit from AAAI (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence) 2025 as an example.
After download the Author Kit, unzip it and import the folder Latex(it is the subfolder of CameraReady in AAAI author kit, may be different in other conferences) to Overleaf. Now, you got conference style template in Overleaf.
