Where the body text in this fixture comes from

body.tex exists for one reason: the conference context evaluation needs a page of real running prose — normal paragraph density, real citations, real inline maths, a real cross-reference — so that a figure dropped into it can be judged at the size a reader would actually meet it. Lorem ipsum or blank vertical space would not show whether the figure’s labels hold up next to body text.

What was taken

Fixture section Source file in the archive Extent
\section{Introduction} introduction.tex the four active prose paragraphs, in order, complete
\section{Background} first paragraph background.tex paragraph 1, complete
the two paragraphs before the figure background.tex paragraphs 2 and 3, complete
the paragraph after the figure background.tex paragraph 4, complete
\section{Attention} model_architecture.tex the \subsection{Attention} lead paragraph, plus two sentences of \subsubsection{Scaled Dot-Product Attention}

Roughly one and a half pages of prose in a single-column venue — enough for a title page plus one full body page, which is all the evaluation needs. The rest of the article (results.tex, training.tex, visualizations.tex, the model figures under Figures/ and vis/, nips_2017.sty) was not copied.

Every edit made to the excerpt

  1. Drafting comments removed. The sources carry commented-out \marginpar notes to co-authors and long commented-out alternative drafts. All of those %-prefixed lines were dropped. No uncommented prose was altered.
  2. One paragraph break closed up. In introduction.tex a \marginpar comment sat between two halves of what is one paragraph (“This inherently sequential nature…” / “Recent work has achieved…”). With the comment gone the two halves are joined into the single paragraph they were written as.
  3. \clearpage inserted in the middle of Background, with a comment marking it as a fixture edit. It guarantees the target figure lands on an ordinary body page instead of competing with the title block for the first page. It changes nothing about that body page — margins, running head, folio, leading and caption style are the venue’s own.
  4. \input{context-figure} inserted between Background paragraphs 3 and 4. That is the insertion point for the figure under test.
  5. Section levels flattened. \subsection{Attention} and its subsubsection became one \section{Attention}, because the excerpt has no enclosing \section{Model Architecture} to hang them under. The \label{sec:attention} moved with it, so the forward \ref{sec:attention} in Background still resolves to a real, numbered section on the page.
  6. Two sentences reordered in the final paragraph, so the excerpt reads coherently without the equations, the Figure~\ref and the \subsubsection heading that separated them in the original.
  7. Figure~\ref{fig:multi-head-att} dropped from that paragraph, along with the sentence naming it. The figure it points at is not part of this excerpt, and a dangling reference would defeat the point of the compile check.

Nothing was added to the prose. No citation key was invented, stubbed out or silently defined away.

Citations

Every \citep key that survives in body.tex has a real entry in references.bib — 21 works, plus the source article itself. Titles and full author lists were checked against the arXiv API on 2026-09-08; the one non-arXiv entry, hochreiter2001gradient, is the 2001 book chapter in A Field Guide to Dynamical Recurrent Neural Networks (Kremer & Kolen eds., IEEE Press).

The original Figures/ and vis/ graphics, and the nips_2017.sty the article was typeset with, are deliberately absent: this excerpt is set in the 2026 conference styles under tests/fixtures/conferences/, not in the article’s own.

What the page is not

The figure that lands in this text is rendered by this repository from a spec in tests/data/. It is synthetic evaluation data. It is not a result from Attention Is All You Need, and its caption says as much on the page. The compiled page is a typesetting fixture; it is not a submission, a preprint, or a claim that anything here was accepted anywhere.
