Description
Hi,
author and affiliation takes a lot of space in the ICLR template. It is therefore often changed and abbreviated using custom headers. If you click through this years camera ready papers [1], about 1/3 use some for of this, for example [2,3]:
First Author¹, Second Author², Senior Author¹³
¹ University... ² Company.. ³ Collage...
The correspondence email and link to code could also be included:
Correspondence to: <mail@university.edu>
Source Code: <link>
The current template unnecessarily penalizes papers with many authors. Changing the template to the proposed and informally already used format, would not take away precious space from the page limit.
Best,
Leon
