This is an example of a paper in LaTeX for the conference NeurIPS 2020, but it could be also useful for future editions of a such conference.

Be careful, revision process is double blinded, so, at submittion you shoud omit the author names.

I didn't use natbib because it produces some conflicts with other packages.

NeurIPS 2020 style guidelines:

https://neurips.cc/Conferences/2020/PaperInformation/StyleFiles

I modified and have observations the next in order to have a better visualization but using the format and instructions given by NerurIPS committee.

As indicated in the .tex file, for ready submission uncomment the first one (this option hides the authors and the acknowledgements):

% ready for submission
 \usepackage{neurips_2020}

% to compile a camera-ready version, add the [final] option, e.g.:
%     \usepackage[final]{neurips_2020}

And for the final camera-ready version uncomment the second one (this option shows the full paper):

% ready for submission
% \usepackage{neurips_2020}

% to compile a camera-ready version, add the [final] option, e.g.:
     \usepackage[final]{neurips_2020}

Cite the papers using \cite{reference-name}, example:

... we used the Caffe framework \cite{reference1}.

In order to add multiple authors in a better visualization, I used:

\author{
  \textbf{AuthorName AuthorSurname $^1$, AuthorName AuthorSurname $^1$} \\ 
  \textbf{AuthorName AuthorSurname $^1$ $^2$, AuthorName AuthorSurname $^2$}
  \\
  $^1$ Deppartament1, University1, Country1 \\ 
  $^2$ Deppartament2, University2, Country2 \\
  \texttt{\{email1, email2, email3\}@affiliation.edu} 
  \\
  \texttt{email4@affiliation.edu} 
}

I added the next packages in order to have a better manage of the images.

\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}

Replace all the References section (included the subtitle) with:

\bibliography{references}{}
\bibliographystyle{plain}

Compile step by step as follows:

Step 1. Compite with PDFLaTeX

Step 2. Compile with BibTeX

Step 3. Compile with PDFLaTeX

Step 4. Compile with PDFLaTeX

Be careful when you submit your paper to ArXiV.

Submit the main LaTeX files in a .tag compressed file. In my case, such main files are: paper_neurips.tex, neurips_2020.sty, images (folder), paper_neurips.bbl (generated from the references.bib at Step 2 of compiling).
